Asking for a pay-rate increase.

Hello, Ms. Sara.

Do you have a few minutes to talk?

Hello, John; yes, I have a few minutes to talk.

What's on your mind?

I would like to discuss an increase to my hourly rate of pay.

Okay, let's talk about it.

What are you thinking?

I have been working for you for a long time.

My work is always high quality and I work very quickly.

I agree with all of those things.

I would like to suggest a pay increase to keep my hourly rate consistent with the market rate for my services.

What do you suggest the rate should be?

I thought an extra 1 dollar per hour would be a fair increase.

Your work has been exceptional thus far and you produce work very quickly.

Will I still receive excellent value at the higher price?

I certainly assure you that you will still receive excellent value for money.

I am certain that I will too.

I accept your proposed new rate of pay.

Thank you very much, Ms. Sara.

You're welcome, John.

I will adjust your rate in your contract so you can start billing at your new rate.

I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.
