Global inflation has started to take its toll on salaried individuals, and everyone wishes for his/her salary to be raised. A salary raise asking letter is the best way to communicate your desire and draw the employer's attention to your concerns, as only then can they be resolved.

A salary raise asking letter should be carefully drafted, so that it justifies your claim for a salary hike, and does not convey any wrong impression.

Sub: Request for Salary Raise

Dear Allen,

It has been a great experience working with the company under your leadership for 3 years now. I have been consistently performing my duties and responsibilities satisfactorily. I have even been nominated many times for Performance Awards. I would like to bring it to your notice that despite all the efforts and achievements, I have been working on the same salary for all these years. So, after lots of thought and in anticipation, I am writing this letter to put forward my request for salary revision, and appropriate hike.

I was told at the time of joining too that the organization has a policy, under which the first salary revision has to be done after completion of three years with the organization, and thereafter on annual basis. I would like to remind you that I have completed my 3 years last month, and so the needful may be done for the salary negotiations. I would appreciate if given an opportunity to meet you in person and discuss the salary hike in detail.

Thanking you once again for the time given, and the opportunity to be a part of your team.

Regards,

(Signature)
John Moore
IT Manager

Salary Revision

Dear Lewis,

I am writing this letter to inform you and put forward the employees request for a salary revision. In the monthly meeting of our Utility Services department, we had the issue of salary revision put forward by some employees. After detailed consideration and insight in to the matter, I have decided to forward their request to the concerned management people, so that a suitable pay scale could be redrafted.

I would like to bring to your notice that, since the inception of the company, there was no review of the salary done for our department, considering the logistic constraints, and then existing job responsibilities. But, since now a new wing has been added, the duties and responsibilities of the employees have increased, and so has the quantum of work to be performed. Acknowledging their concerns, and to resolve their issues, I would like you to consider their request, which I personally feel is justifiable.

I would appreciate if we can discuss the matter together in person, and design a suitable revised pay scale chart, with substantial proportional salary raise.

Thanking you in anticipation of a prompt reply.

Regards,

(Signature)
Simon Wilson
Manager
Utility Services
