Hi mcherm,

Thanks for the advice.

I have come to a couple of conclusions, that I can either do like you said and have a frank conversation to say that I believe that I am achieving greater than my salary represents. Or that I can have a contract on the table with another employer, come back to my current employer, and let them know that that is what I'm worth on the market elsewhere. If they decide to match that number is wholly their decision, but at least I will have that piece of mind.
