How to write an application for a salary increase

A well-written application for a salary increase is half the success in such a delicate matter. It can serve not only as a reason for improving your financial situation, but also as a basis for obtaining a higher position.

In order to correctly fill out an application for a salary increase, first find out whose responsibilities include making decisions in such matters. It makes no sense to write an application to the name of the immediate supervisor if he occupies a position far from the top of the hierarchical pyramid of your organization. It is best to write an application addressed to the head of the organization or the head of the personnel department, and endorse it from your head.

In order not to use the phrases “I ask for a raise" or “I ask for a salary increase”, it is better to use “Please consider the possibility of a salary increase …”. This wording sounds dignified, sets you in a business mood.

Be sure to justify why a salary increase is justified in your situation. List your responsibilities and note that the volume of work has increased significantly due to, for example, attracting new customers, increasing sales, or leaving an employee. Appeal to the numbers, compare how the performance of the department has grown recently. Try not to go overboard with describing how hard it is for you to work, otherwise management will consider hiring an additional employee.

Do not use as justification arguments like “I became aware that accounting employee Petrov received a salary increase” or “Ivanov’s manager gets more.” Firstly, this does not concern you, and secondly, the management considered it acceptable.

In the text of the application, indicate the amount of the increase that you are counting on, in this case, the management will not have to look for information about your salary. But be prepared for the fact that your desired increase of 10,000 rubles can turn into 5,000 with one stroke of the pen.

Enlist the support of your immediate supervisor, ask him to endorse the application and write a capacious "I do not mind." Perhaps your boss will take the initiative and write that you really deserve a raise.

What if the purpose of the relationship is something unconditional for which both the man and the woman could take responsibility? What if this is… the practice of love? Love is what is within us; something for which we are responsible in both good and bad times. Love allows us to focus on our own efforts and responsibilities, as well as to notice the advantages of our partner. Too many people focus on taking something from the relationship. But, for a harmonious relationship, you need to give, take responsibility for your happiness, and then “invest” it in others.
