As an employee, you may be entitled to unique allowances in addition to your salary. Unique allowances are additional payments made by employers to employees for specific purposes. Requesting these allowances can be challenging, especially if you do not know the proper channels to follow. This article outlines how to request unique allowances from your employer.

Identify the allowances that you may be eligible for

Before requesting a unique allowance from your employer, you must first determine the allowances that exist in your company. This information can be found in your employment contract, the company policy handbook, or by speaking to your HR department. Typical unique allowances include transportation, medical expenses, and housing.

Prepare a written request

Once you have identified the allowances you may be eligible for, put your request in writing. A written request serves as a record of your request and provides your employer with the necessary details regarding the cost of the allowance and its purpose. Your request should include the following details:

– The specific allowance you are requesting
– The reason why you need the allowance
– The estimated cost of the allowance
– How the allowance will benefit the company
– Any supporting documents such as invoices, receipts or medical certificates to support your request

Arrange a meeting with your manager or HR

After you have written down your request, it’s time to arrange a meeting with your manager or HR personnel. This meeting should be a formal one where you can discuss your request and provide your manager with a chance to ask any questions they may have. Your written request can be a guide for this meeting.

During the meeting, be sure to provide in-depth explanations of why you are requesting the allowance and how it will benefit both you and the company. It may also be helpful to provide examples of other companies that offer similar allowances to their employees.

Be willing to negotiate

Your manager or HR may not be able to provide you with the full amount of the allowance you requested. Be prepared to negotiate and come to a compromise. For instance, instead of providing 100% of the requested amount, they may offer to provide 70% of the amount. In such cases, be willing to accept the offer and appreciate their effort.

Follow-up on your request

After you have met with your manager or HR personnel and agreed on the unique allowance, follow up with a written letter. This letter should highlight what was discussed in the meeting, the agreed-upon terms, and the duration during which the allowance will be provided.

In conclusion, requesting unique allowances can be crucial to meet certain pressing needs. Follow the steps mentioned in this article to make your request professionally and persuasively. Remember that negotiating will sometimes be required, but always remain professional and respect the decision made by your employer. Finally, always follow up to ensure that your request is put into effect promptly.
