In the past, I have approached HR asking for a pay raise, but was informed that the company cannot afford to pay more for my role. Should I disclose to HR that I know I am paid the least? Pay differential for similar roles should, however, ordinarily not trespass salary bands with which they are linked. Besides HR, it is advisable to involve your supervisor in pay matters as he or she would have a clearer picture of your contribution to the organisation. Consider engaging your HR function concerning the need to have a pay structure in your organisation.
