I think it depends what the jobs are, and the extra time commitment. If these jobs need to be done, say, every Monday send out a report, Tuesday do this, Wed that, or whatever, and it means you have to work extra hard or extra hours to complete them, then ya, I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for increased compensation.
But if you are just working on projects, and doing your bosses rolls just means some of the work you do takes longer to complete, and deadlines aren't really an issue you have to struggle to meet, and no new skills are needed, then I'm not sure there is much case to ask for anything additional. You are still just doing your job 9-5.
I know my employment contract specifies what is expected, but also leaves room for me to do pretty much anything if needed.
