a.Okay, well, what kind of rise would you be looking for?
b. Three per cent... Hmm. Right, well, as you know, I can’t just give you a pay rise immediately, just like that. I’ll have to discuss it with the other managers here. And, as you can imagine, there aren’t unlimited funds available for things like this. But you might be pleased to hear that we are having a pay review meeting very soon and I’ll make sure we discuss your request then.
c. Well, I have been here now for three years and in that time I have made good progress. I really feel that I’ve grown in the job and I’ve taken on a lot more responsibility. I just think it’s time that it was recognised and that my efforts were rewarded.
d. Yeah, I do believe that what I’ve contributed to the department over recent months means that I should be paid more.
e. Right. So you feel that you’re on a low salary for your current position and current responsibilities, do you?
f. Well, you know, I think that 3% on top of the usual annual rise with inflation isn’t too much to ask.
