Salary Increase Letter: Long Time no Increase

Salary Increase Letter: Long Time no Increase

Dear [Manager Name],

Before I delve in to the core purpose of my letter, I would like to express my full confidence in the benefits system followed at this esteemed company. I have absolutely no doubt in the company’s desire to establish a fair environment for all staff by adequately compensating them. This is just one of the many reasons I take pride in being part of this wonderful group and the reason I am able to write such letter.

Having said that, I would like to express my concern with the fact that a considerable period of time has passed since my last salary raise. [List here when was your last increment and how much time has passed since then]. I believe the quality as well as the quantity if my work has not degraded by any rate. My last performance review was also very good. [Skip the last sentence if you didn't have a recent performance review]. I am a hardworking and devoted employee and I honestly find it a little disappointing that my dedication is not awarded for such a long period of time. If there is a specific reason preventing such an increment I would be grateful to know what it is so I can address it immediately, otherwise kindly consider a salary review at the earliest possible chance.

Thank you.


Sincerely,
[Your name]
[Date]
