Can any one give me some advice as to what to put in a letter to my boss to fund my IOSH membership this year. I have taken a pay cut recently and £87.00 for the membership is loads for someone who is only on 21.000 with car loans mortgage etc (will not boar you all). Ps could you post it on here and not my email address as it is not working cheers P.

"If you don't pay my IOSH subscription I'll get all bitter, twisted and aggrieved like Kate, and still make the money out of you some other way."
Or maybe not

Not to sure of your line of work, but accreditation to a professional body is always recommended when clients are carrying out competency checks, this might assist with future contracts. You could also check with your companies insurance provider to see if it drops the premium? Do other employees have membership of professional organisations? If so argue that fact?
Good luck.

Bend the truth a little, it's tax deductable and can be posted on my P11D. Always works for me.

Paula,
what about the fact that you get access to an incredible wealth of knowledge on h & s, free technical information and of course, a free legal helpline?
Irrespective of all the other benefits, surely the latter alone justifies membership?
Just my humble opinion...
Good Luck

Could I suggest giving him the reasons that I used.. the ones that were used to lure you into wanting membership.. (Copy pasted from the blurb on this site.)
Free technical information service
Free health and safety lawline - help with interpreting legislation and case law.
Free best practice guides
Free Safety and Health Practitioner the profession's leading monthly magazine, with the biggest recruitment section.
Discounted subscription to our biannual academic journal, Policy and Practice in Health and Safety,
Cutting-edge online Continuing Professional Development programme.
More than 80 professional development courses... at discounted rates,
Over 300 free or low cost events every year,
Member consultation, the chance to have your say on proposed new regulations and legislation.
Online discussion forums, for professional issues, careers and study support
networking active local branches, plus sector-specific groups...
Funding to support research and development.
All of this useful stuff is available at the click of a mouse or by just picking up the phone. And then come to the secret password that often unlocks Senior Managements wallets.. the word 'FREE'! It's amazing.. eyes light up and suddenly they are interested in what you are saying.. It's also worth adding that if he had to pay privately for all of these services it would cost the company a lot of money.
