His boss has already told him where he stands on the issue. Any counteroffer would be a temporary fix to the problem.

Your situation reminds me of the Dave Chappele stand-up act...

David Chappelle: "Hey, baby! Stop selling weed, all right, you've got your whole life ahead of you." He goes, "Fuck you, *****. I got kids to feed!"

You got a daughter to feed. Keep that in mind. I'm not saying you should start selling weed, but you gotta make some sacrifices to get a better salary.

Well if its company policy and in your pay plan arent they legally liable to do it. Your boss could just be mis-informed on your pay plan, show him in the book exactly what it says and he should do it. Espically since you said you have a good relationship with him. And if he still doesnt then go to the GM and tell him whats going on.

I wouldn't be going over anyones head unless he has something to fall back on. This never ends up easy and both side will always have some sort of animosity. Sure, he can go over his boss's head and when the boss finds out, he could take his own action and let him go.

If he was to do that, always have a back up plan to follow up on in case

A. They let him go.

or

B. He has something to call their bluff with. Having a backup plan with a higher and better paying job will allow him to win in this situation even if it will not be with his current employer.

The response shows how much they care about you. That response was uncalled for and tactless. Unless there's a higher level of authority to go to report this supervisor, submit your two week's notice. You'll be the better person.

If it's in the handbook, can't you contact a company HR rep about it?

You would think so... but we have trouble getting in contact with the payroll lady, let alone a HR rep.
