K: Could we possibly discuss my salary some time?
P: Sure.
K: First of all, I want you to know that I really like working for this company. Do you think I'm doing a good job here?
P: Well, you are a very (hard-worker).
K: I try very hard.
The problem is, my salary just isn't enough to (live on). Now that I have a wife and a child to support, we hardly have enough money for food and rent.
P: There are (trying times) for everyone. What do you propose?
K: I could really use a (5 % raise).
P: That's quite a bit. If I give you a raise, I'm going to have to give everyone a raise.
K: Listen, if you give me a raise, I'll take on (extra responsibilities).
P: That sounds reasonable. How about this? From now on, you can be responsible for scheduling. That means that if you can't find someone to (cover a shift), then you'll have to do it.
K: That's fine. Do I (get over-time) for any extra hours that I work?
P: Of course. It'd be (against the law) if we didn't.
K: That sounds good to me. I really appreciate it.
P: You're welcome. Come in early tomorrow and I'll show you how to do the scheduling.
