【打工心聲】人工不似預期?如何E-mail老闆提出「加薪」?5個步驟增加成功機會!
「我想加人工!」相信這是很多打工仔的心聲。然而,如何向公司反映出這「心聲」,提出加薪的要求,其實也算是一門需要技巧的職場藝術。你是否正打算要求老闆加薪?又是否打算撰寫電子郵件向老闆提出加薪的要求?向公司提出加薪的請求前,你準備好充分的理由了嗎?撰寫有關電郵時,不妨多從自己對公司的貢獻著手,陳述一下自己的工作表現、業績、工作年資等,強調自己的價值,務求獲得公司的認同並進而以取得加薪的機會。正打算說服公司加薪的你,記得跟隨以下5大步驟:

Step 1:說明來信目的
• I am writing to formally request a review of my current salary(檢視我目前的工資).
• I would like to request an adjustment (調整)to my salary.
• In my current role, I’m excited to keep working towards key company goals (努力實現公司的主要目標)and grow my personal responsibilities(履行個人職責). As a result, I’d like to discuss my salary.
Step 2:簡單敘述自己在該公司的工作資歷
• I have greatly enjoyed working at KZC Ltd., and I feel I have contributed a great deal to the company (為公司做出了很大的貢獻)in the past five years.
• During my time as an Executive Secretary for L&Y Company, I have become an integral member (不可或缺的一員)of the administration team.
Step 3:強調自己在公司的成就及貢獻

• My salary has remained the same since January 2016. Since then, I have achieved the following goals:
- brought in $100,000 more in sales than the year before
- implemented (實施)new systems
- saved annual expenditure by 8% (節省了8%的年度支出)for our company
- took the lead on (領導)over 50 new projects
• I believe I have gone above and beyond the benchmarks (超越了基準)we set for my position when I arrived at the company 3 years ago.
• Surely, you’ve noticed the extra hours I’ve put in for the past few years. That's why I think I do deserve a raise(值得加工資).
Step 4:根據市場行情,提出理想中的具體調薪數字

• From my research, I’ve learned that 5% is a reasonable increase and in line with what I've contributed(與我的貢獻一致).
• Based on the research I’ve done, which includes looking at averages for my job title in this city and considering my tenure (任期)here, my years of experience and skill set, a salary increase of 5% is appropriate.
• I would like to request a pay raise by three percent(加薪百分之三), which would put my compensation (報酬) in line with industry standard(符合行業標準).
• My research indicates the average annual salary (平均年薪)for my position is $240,000, so I believe a raise of 6 percent would be appropriate.
Step 5:感謝語

提完加薪要求之後,可以在信中再次表達感謝,並表示希望能有進一步的討論。例如:
• I enjoy my work, and I appreciate the support you and the team have shown me. Thank you for your time. I look forward to meeting with you soon.
• I'm grateful to be a member of this company. If possible, I'd love the opportunity to meet with you and further discuss this in person.
• Is there a better time for us to have this conversation in the near future?
最後,記著千萬別下最後通牒(Don't use ultimatum.)。千萬別說 “If you don't give me a raise, I'm out of here.(如果你不給我加薪,我現在就離職)”啊!
