When they're dolling out your new/additional responsibilities, ask if there will be additional compensation for the additional work. Make a rule for yourself now that your labour isn't free and don't be giving it away. It doesn't matter that other people will, you don't have to. Just having the balls to ask for more money at this perfectly opportune time could equate to 10s of thousands of dollars for you in the long run.
Worst they can say is no, but you'd be crazy not to broach the subject. They definitely won't bring it up, so you have to.
Remember that it's totally rational to want more money/time off/benefits/whatever if they're going to be expecting more productivity and responsibility out of you.
