Pay rate discussion
Wage negotiation is the process of discussing and bargaining over pay, typically between an employee and employer or between a union and management.
It may occur when starting a new job, seeking a raise, or during collective bargaining: She's nervous about the wage negotiation but knows she deserves more.
