Should you ask for more money if your company asks you for things outside your job description?

You don't necessarily have to ask for money, but rather demonstrate your competence by putting your additional value into the job required of you.

It is very good to go some extra miles towards helping company to grow, because at the end it is a mutual benefits for both myself and company.

You should certainly consider it.  However, be thoughtful.  The answer is probably going to be no, so make sure you have a good case and get the timing right.  It might be more productive in the long run to ask for training or mentoring, with a view to promotion or additional responsibility. 

Remember to consider things from the company's point of view.  If you were the manager and an employee in your position asked for something, what would you say? And why? And what might you do instead?

I strongly believe in helping the company grow even by going outside your job description, is both an added value to you and the company. Sometimes the company ask you for favors to test your loyalty and dedication to the company   

I dont beleive  that question is good. Nobody do more than his or her job description, only in cases..i do it because i enjoy and i feel confortable to be usefully and proud for give my time. There is not compesation except my own satisfaction and from my team and boss. It´s mean that my company will not ask me for their needs..I am already i know..I have developed it. It´s mean i cover the responsability on my job position.I don´t need to ask for money. Because the company are rewarding me and covering when i really needs. It´s mean confidential with the company members. I am in your services, loyalty. I am gratefully always. Mutual cooperation. It´s a team. 

YES. Everyones work to earn money.....It's normal

I believe sometimes company may ask for favour to work, on that time we have to help to the company. we should not expect money all the time, we have to think that we can gain some more valuable experience and knowledge by doing additional job.

Yes I will because the main purpose of doing a job is to earn money.

after a while of being a part of a respectful company who appreciates your efforts in a materialistic and moral way, it is reasonable to do some work which is out of your job description , but in general nothing is for free ..! so if they keep asking for such kind of constant changing you have to ask for more money .

Thanks.personally I believe there is a strike of balance that come with serving in the company, money is one thing and the other is the experience you are gaining while serving,so for being given tasks out of my scope of work I would see that as a gain and broadening of my expertise thus having a positive perception might be greater than money on this matter

If you have to ask, they probably don't have it. Focus on making contributions that service your employment objectives.  If you have a gnawing feeling about being underpaid, make yourself happy by reviewing your options and make decisions to change your circumstances.

 

Employers would not ask something in excess of what is required unless they are: a.) 80s style control-freak management looking for a power-trip fix; or b.) unable to afford sufficient labor to meet their desired goals.  In either instance,  not an ideal job setup.

 

If the business is over extended in goal attainment and routinely pinching on labor demands, they are undermining foundational principles of success that make the entire effort wasteful and cheap.

 

Shy away from employers purporting to test your metal by grinding a pay increase request out of you.   This type of inter-work activity demonstrates only that the employer is wasteful and interested in corporate self-harm style business management.

 

In the times before plastic surgery, employers simply paid employees for work.  Now, the inclination to dissect employment arrangements with superficially inflated work-towards-management, co-contributor schemes can sometimes obfuscate essentials.   Why?  To test soft-skills like employee psychology and deploy otherwise unused negotiation tactics.

 

The need to use all demonstrable reserves is a faulty approach.   Some things should be left undisturbed: to fill space, and give the appearance of opulent lack of need for example.  Creating an illusion is free, though needling employees with pay harassment is counter-productive on multiple levels.

 

Employer pressure in the form of rapid well-drying antics  are tacky maneuvers by companies on the verge of going broke.

 

You're probably working in a dying industry or for a poor company if you have to ask.  The world is full of well branded albeit poor companies.  Keep that in mind.
