Frequently asked questions & answers- salary increase request letter:
Question
6:
I have already accepted several additional responsibilities with my current employer.
Then I asked for a salary increase & I was asked to write a salary increase request letter to justify
the salary increase. Can you give me some tips?
Answer:
-
You probably could have negotiated a
higher increase if you finalized the salary increase prior to
accepting.
-
Sounds like your manager may want a salary
increase request letter to show to his/ her manager or just wants
it for the record.
-
In your justification, explain the additional
value you bring to the company, your achievements with the company
so far ... etc.
-
We suggest being firm, by using words like "I
deserve so & so" or I want this higher pay because I have
earned it & I deserve it" and do not use words like
"I'd like" or "I hope"....
-
We also suggest your justification be in bullet
points.
