Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

My Job Description
I am being transferred to another department at my job, but doing the same position. I met with my current director and the new one the other day and they gave me my job descriptions. There were things on them that were the same, but there were additional items that were not part of my current job. The biggest change had to do with learning a complete computer system, software and all, so that I can be a technical support person for that program. When I asked about compensation for the added responsibilities, my current boss went off the ''deep end'', stating that I was giving up responsibilities to compensated for the new ones and that is was a ''clean sweep'' and my salary would not change. The ''other responsibilities'' are NOT on my current job description AT ALL - they were just added daily as he saw fit. He told me to ''take it or get out'' - the position would would be the next department's problem. *I kept all the e-mail correspondence. He said to go talk to HR, they classify the positions. I did and they sent me right back to my Director. What can I do? I really like my job and do not want to quit. Can he do that, transfer me and add responsibilites and not compensate me for the additional responsibilities?

Re: My Job Description

Yes, of course. It's the right of the employer to set your job requirements and compensation. You can accept them or leave.
