AIBU to think DH employer is getting ahead of themselves

[Dibble135]

DH is an area manager and has been asked to take over another following the departure of the current one with a view to bringing it up to scratch.

This will involve travel abroad and other matters which are not currently part of his role.

He has been told this will result in a pay rise but no indication as to how much or full details of what the role will involve.

DH likes a challenge and has agreed in principle subject to accepting the proposed terms and conditions, including the pay package.

Nothing further has been said about that yet his new role has now been announced to colleagues and he is being asked to arrange travel to take place next month.

AIBU to think he should not arrange anything until details of the remuneration package have been proposed and agreed?

What if he decides it is not worth his while but has then been committed to things which will then need to be undone, for which he would no doubt be blamed?

He needs to tackle this with his boss straight away.

He shouldn't do anything regarding the new role until a contract has been signed. He needs to make this very, very clear about this.

Yes, they absolutely need to confirm his pay rise and provide him with a new job description and contract before anything happens in relation to the new role. He needs to make this very clear to them, straight away.

He needs to get this in writing to his boss straight away. Say something like there must have been a communication issue as you are still waiting to see the pay and benefits package before committing to the role. See what comes back.
