How Can I Increase My Knowledge/experience In The Legal Aspects Of Human Resources?

Classes? Courses? Seminars? Books?

How Should I Ask To Get A Better Increase And More Money?

I currently work as a HR Assistant in a clinical research organization and I recently received an increase of about 4% for my last year performance which overall was good! A receptionist who has about the same amount of experience as I do with no degree not only received a 4% increase but was also promoted to an HR Assistant role with an additional 4% increase, now making almost $3000 more then me. This has made me furious!! How can I approach my Director for a fair evaluation?? Or help her see my side without any threats. I currently need my job as I am planning on making some life changes.
