Is it permissible to take money for extra work that was not accounted for, despite the increase in tasks and responsibilities over six years without a salary raise or the employer fulfilling his promises?

It is not permissible to take the employer's money without his permission because he did not commit to paying for the extra hours, and therefore you have no right to it. You are considered to have volunteered the extra time.
