Suggested answer (139 words)
To: all staffFrom: Lauren Coles
As you may already be aware, there will be a number of changes to working
conditions here at McIntosh Engineering. You will be happy to hear that these
changes will benefit most, ifnot all, of you!
Firstly, as of 1 July, all staff salaries will rise. The upper limit for admin/clerical
staff will go up from £19,500 to £22,000 and for project managers from
£32,000 to £34,000.Secondly, early retirement will be opened to all staff, and not just to
managers.
Thirdly, staff who have been with the company for 12 months, rather than 18,
will be able to join the pensionscheme.
Finally, after 5 years with the company, and not the current 10 years, staff will
receive 25 days’ leave a year.
If you have any questions, please contact Matthew in HR.
