Sounds like some good advice Tim. Don't forget to get an agreement on ongoing travel costs, post contract change. However, if the intention is for global harmonisation ask for music lessons too.
sorry, I just couldn't stop myself

Sounds like potential for a result.Get rid of the boring Eurobanger and replace it with a big f*** off bike and expenses to run it.

Tim, this may not be a bad thing... work out a number that you would be happy to accept in lieu of a company car, then add 20% to that. Tell the Boss that to be in the SAME position you need an extra £xxx per month. He'll mumble about taking it away to HR and will make you think it's too high (if he's any good at negotiating)... let him.
He'll come back with a different number probably. Hopefully that number will be within your 20% margin - if so you win. If not, offer the number without the extra 20% saying you're committed to doing your part to help the company *blah-blah-blah*, but that you can't afford to earn 'less'. Unfortunately, it's just you vs HR, so no leverage from any sort of collective bargaining. But one car allowance out of 1,000 employees is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Potential problem could be when they harmonise salary bands, and your new salary is deemed too high!! But cross that bridge later... Good luck! Last edited by ceeshaw; 08-03-10 at 02:57 PM. |
