Navigating Salary Increment Requests and Appointment Terms: Insights and Guidance

Hello All, I have 8 months of experience as an admin executive. I want to write an email requesting a salary increment to the CEO. Can anybody advise me on what I should include in the email?

Thank you.

Hello Prachi Mallik,

You have not presented the full details in your posting. Normally, increments are given only after a year of working. This is done for all employees together as an annual exercise. In some companies, semi-annual raises are given, but these are rare instances. In your case, when you took up the appointment, were you given any promise that you would receive an increment after 6 or 8 months? Alternatively, would you prefer to write your own draft?

To receive the best support from the seniors, please submit your own draft for review. This initiative will also pave the way for your skill improvement. The seniors would be happy to assist you once they review your draft.

Thank you, sir,

But there is a rule for an increment after 6 months.

Respected Sir,

First of all, I am very thankful to you for giving me an opportunity to work in this organization. With kind respect, I am going to inform you that I have been working in this organization since the month of 01/01/2013. During my appointment, you had promised me that you would increase my salary after the 6th month, and now I am in the 7th month. So, it's my humble request to you to please take a look at the same. I will be highly obliged.

With Regards,

Is there any need for changes in the email? You also promised me that after 6 months, I would be promoted to HR Executive. I am waiting for your soonest reply.

Thank You,

Prachi

Hello Prachi,

At the outset, I am very thankful to you for having given me an opportunity to work in this organization. I have been working in this organization since the month of 01/01/2013. You may kindly recall my appointment terms during the interview. (Please provide proof if available.) I have been discharging my duties to the satisfaction of my superiors. I was promised that I would be given an increase in my salary after the 6th month. Therefore, I humbly request a favorable consideration from you. I would be highly obliged.

Thanking you,

Yours truly,
