How Do I Politely Ask HR About the Promised Salary Hike After Six Months?

Dear Friend,

Please suggest how to write a request letter to the HR department/my boss regarding the salary hike that was promised by management during the salary negotiation. It was mentioned that I should join on this package, and after six months, my salary structure would be revised.

Please guide me.

Thank you and regards,
Sunil

Hi Sunil,

First of all, understand that these are just gimmicks, and 99% your company will not give you any hike, especially if it was a verbal assurance. If your company is among the 1% who doesn't break promises, then you are lucky.

Anyway, you could draft your letter in the following manner. I'm not an HR, so this is not any standard letter; it is just what came to my mind. Hope this helps...

Subject: Reminder for salary revision

Dear HR / Boss,

This is to remind you regarding the hike promised to me while joining the organization. As per my discussion with XYZ, I was to be given a hike, 6 months after joining. As I have completed 6 months, I'm sending a reminder mail regarding the same.

Thanks and regards,

XYZ
