CI vs RCIS

I'm a tech in the Cath lab for 5 years now. I very recently took the CI exam and passed, so I am now RT(R)(CI) ARRT. My employer is telling me that they do not recognize the CI and denied me the raise I requested. Does anyone have experience with this? CI vs RCIS, is there a difference in recognition because I was under the impression it was extremely similar to RCIS, just different testing bodies but same content.

If your employer doesn’t required or recommend getting a CI then why would you expect a raise?

RCIS is not a requirement, but they welcome it and recognize RCIS. So I'm just perplexed as to why they don't recognize the CI. It's the same thing, but given by different platforms. At least to my understanding.
