UNIT 1. WORK AND JOBS.

TEXT

A People may ask you about your job. They can ask and you can answer in different ways:

∙ What do you do?

I'm (+ job) e.g. a banker / an engineer / a teacher / a builder/ a manager

∙ What’ s your job?

I work in (+ place or general area) e.g. a bank / marketing

∙ What do you do for a living?

I work for (+ name of company) e.g. Union Bank, ICI, Fiat

Note: 'Work' is usually an uncountable noun, so you cannot say 'a work'. If you want to use the indefinite article you must say 'a job', e.g. She hasn't got a job at the moment.

Work is also a place where you do your job.

B People may want to know your main responsibilities (= your duties / what you have to do), so people ask you to explain your work/job, or something about your daily routine (= what you do every day/week). They can ask like this:

∙What does that (i.e. your job) involve? (= What do you do in your job?) I'm in charge of (= responsible for) all deliveries out of the factory.

I have to deal with any complaints (= take all necessary action if there are complaints)

I run the coffee bar and restaurant in the museum (= I am in control of it /I manage it).

Note: We often use responsible for / in charge of for part of something, e.g. a department or some of the workers; and run for control of all of something, e.g. a company or a shop.

C Daily duties/routines

I have to go to / attend (e.g.) a lot of meetings.

4

I visit/see/meet clients (= people I do business with or for).

I advise clients (= give them help and my opinion).

It involves doing quite a lot of paperwork (a general word we use for routine work that involves paper e.g. writing letters, filling in forms, etc.).

Note the -ing form after involve.

D Working hours

For many people in Britain, these are 8.30-9.00 a.m. to 5.00-5.30 p.m. Consequently people often talk about a nine-to-five job (= regular working hours). Some people have flexi-time (= they can start an hour or so earlier or finish later); and some have to do shiftwork (= working at different times, e.g. days one week and nights the next week).Some people also work overtime (= work extra hours). Some people are paid to do/work overtime, others are not paid.

A full-time job is for the whole of the normal working week; a part-time job is for less time than that.

You say that someone works full-time or part-time.

A permanent job does not finish after a fixed period.

A temporary job finishes after a fixed period.

You talk about temporary work and permanent work.

Many people used to work for the same organization until they reached retirement: the age at which people retire, or end their working life. Career paths were clear: you could work your way up the career ladder, getting promotion to jobs that were more senior, with greater responsibility. You would probably not be demoted: moved to a less senior job.

To leave the company, you could resign or hand in your notice.

There is a need for freelancers (freelances), independent people who may work for several different companies. They are employed for short periods on temporary contracts. Companies expect flexibility, with people moving to different jobs when necessary, but for many employees, this means job insecurity, the feeling that they may not be in their job for long.

E Pay and benefits

Most workers are paid (= receive money) every month and this pay goes directly into their bank account. It is called a salary. We can express the same idea using the verb to earn:

My salary is $60,000 a year. (= I earn $60,000 a year.)

You may get the minimum wage: the lowest amount of money allowed by law. But working in some places, for example in restaurants and bars, you may get tips, money that customers leave in addition to the bill.

You can get a basic salary, plus commission: a percentage on everything you sell.

Some extra money is called a bonus. There are may be performance-related bonuses if the manager reached particular objectives for the company.

With many jobs you get (= receive) holiday pay and sick pay (when you are ill). If you want to ask about holidays, you can say:

How much holiday do you get? or How many weeks' holiday do you get?

The total amount of money you receive in a year is called your income. This could be your salary from one job, or the salary from two different jobs you have. And on this income you have to pay part to the government - called incom tax.

Compensation is also used to talk about money and other benefits that a senior manager (or any employee) receives if they are forced to leave the organization, perhaps after a boardroom row. This money is in the form of a compensation payment, or severance payment. If the manager also receives benefits, the payment and the benefits form a severance package.

In Britain, executives with very high pay and good benefits may be referred to as fat cats, implying that they do not deserve this level of remuneration. For a senior executive, remuneration package may include share options (BrE) or stock options (AmE): the right to buy the company’s shares at low prices.

At work you may get fringe benefits: a company car, free meals, payments for

6

the pension: money that you’ll get regularly after you stop working. All that

makes a benefits package.

F All these words are used in front of 'job' and 'work':

∙satisfying, stimulating, fascinating, exciting: the work is interesting and gives you positive feelings.

∙dull, boring, uninteresting, unstimulating: the work is not interesting.

∙repetitive, routine: the work involves doing the same things again and again.

∙tiring, tough, hard, demanding: the work is difficult and makes you tired.
