Task 7

Formulating a Pay Claim presentation.

3.1, 5.1 (level 3)

Produce a presentation to be given to your company as a pay claim. Don’t just concentrate on the financial aspect of the claim, took at any areas for improvements that can be made to the full range of terms and conditions (working hours, flexi time, holidays, bonus schemes, shift premia etc).

To start with, produce a document detailing all of your current terms and conditions. From there identify opportunities for improvements. Produce a plan for the presentation;

• What areas will you cover?
• When will the presentation be given?
• Who will present the claim?
• What are your key dates for gathering information?
• What style will your presentation adopt (formal, light hearted etc)

Use information from your union office and the Internet to support your claim. Each change to working arrangements that you ask for should be supported by the reasons you want to change and the benefits you see to both your members and the company.

This task is the major project of this module and can be scheduled to span the remaining weeks of the course. Make use of colour, graphics, animation etc to give your presentation a professional edge.
