Is this illegal or just a bit unfair?

I've been working at a small charity for 4 years in admin part time.

Just over a year ago my manager told me they were going to make me office manager then a couple of days later said actually the board have now decided we need a full time office manager, we'll make you a senior admin officer.

Office manager came & went, being paid about 30% more than me. Didn't feel supported & job not as advertised, (v much similar work to me)

While I was off sick after an op a few months ago they advertised for a full time senior admin officer (at about 20% more pay than me). She has started & all fine-again, similar work to me. The other day manager left something for me to print off where my tile was referred to as 'admin officer'. I queried the loss of the senior & she came back with a letter which stated additional duties & referee to the post as 'Admin officer'. I have replied & asked her if she remembers the title being changed & attached a subsequent meeting agenda in which I was referred to as 'senior admin officer'. There are other docs that she created stating this

I feel like she is trying to backtrack my job title to justify paying the new person a higher salary. The other position's salary comes from a different pot of funding so logistically it would probably be a pain to pay us the same amount but I feel really hurt & demotivated by this.

Sorry that was long, any advice appreciated

I’m not sure if it’s illegal but definitely unfair and unprofessional. I think I would request a meeting with your manager to go over what is going on. And ask what these other roles are doing over and above what you do that equates to being paid more. Good luck

Thanks Els1e - good to know I'm not losing perspective
