How Can I Advocate for a Salary Increase for My Diverse Team in Saudi Arabia?

Dear Friends,

Can anyone help me? :roll: I am working here in Saudi Arabia as a Production Manager, and I want to do something for my people this coming year 2008. I handle Indian, Bangladeshi, Filipino nationalities, and some Arab nationalities from outside the Kingdom. Most of my people are pioneers and professional workers for this one-year-old factory. They continue to play a key role and have contributed significantly to my recent accomplishments. However, salaries have decreased and are now below industry averages due to the low value of the dollar.

I kindly request your assistance in helping me draft a strong recommendation letter for a salary increment for my team to be addressed to the company's top management. Please provide a format for a salary raise letter.

Your help is highly appreciated. Happy New Year!

Thank you and best regards,
Jessie
