[PA] Annual Raise / Promotion Raise poor timing resulting in lower total raise

Hi all,

Prior to recent raises I was making $56.04/hour

I applied for and received a promotion that comes with a 5% raise

Before that 5% raise went into effect, everyone across the board received an annual 3% raise. That officially went into effect and brought me to $57.71/hour

Today I verbally confirmed my new position with HR and they stated my new wage for this position would be $58.83. I realized that this was based off of my former wage of $56.04 and not factoring in the recent 3% raise.

As a result of poor timing with these raises, instead of +8% from $56.04, I basically am only getting +5%. I should be making $60.59/hour

I called back to discuss this with HR but she was out of the office by the time I called back. Just curious to have some input on if this is something that will be easily corrected or am I basically screwed out of 3% and multiple thousands annually all due to poor timing?

I plan to pursue this further because I don’t intend to leave this money on the table, just wanted to get a little insight. Thanks!
