Hello.

I'm about to apply for a promotion to assistant manager in the shop where I work in Bournemouth, Dorset. It is a very popular town centre shop. We average around 22-25000 quid a week, though over the xmas period we were doing around 50000 per week. We have 12 staff, though generally no more than four working at a time. We have a manager, and did have an assistant manager until she quit a couple weeks ago.

I have heard that the company is going to offer the new assistant 13000 per year, which works out to like 6.50 an hour, i.e. rather poor. I want to go into the interview armed with some facts about the average wage for a position such as this. I reckon, if I have the facts, I could negotiate a higher wage....

Now, is there a site where I can find this kind of data? Any help would be appreciated!
