salary talks

Pay rate bargaining

Salary talks are negotiations between an employer and employee (or their representatives) about compensation.

The phrase typically appears in news coverage of contract disputes, labor relations, or professional sports: Salary talks between the union and management broke down Friday.

Unlike casual conversation about pay, salary talks implies a formal negotiating process.
