KP Employee - Issues with Compensation. Advice needed
Current KP employee here - need some guidance with an HR/Compensation issue
I recently applied and was offered a position that requires minimum 5 years of project management, data analytics, or consulting experience.
Compensation has decided that they cannot offer me the position because according to them, I do not meet the minimum requirements
I am currently a Project Manager and have been for 2.5 years. Before becoming a PM, I was an admin assistant, but had about 2 years of PM experience in that role. I did far more beyond my admin duties and was acting as a project manager without the title. And prior to that I was an admin intern with about 1.5 years of PM experience as well. So total of about 6 years of PM experience
They state that they cannot count my admin coordinator experience toward the requirement. BUT- in my current role, my admin assistant experience was counted toward the minimum qualification of 3 years PM experience. How does this make sense?
Can I escalate this? I have contemporaneous documentation that supports my PM experience and I just don’t think it’s at all fair that I am being disqualified. Any advice on how I can move forward?
Thanks in advance!!!
