Grievance Letter for not getting an Increment

Grievance Letter for not getting an Increment

Letters Kate

It is obvious that every employee wants an increment, especially when he/she has been working for a long time. Companies look for a salary raise when the employee performs well, but some organizations don’t care for the employees or cannot give an increment.

There are companies that provide increment letters to employees when the new year starts. If there is any company that doesn’t provide them, then the employee can write a letter requesting a raise in salary. It is the employee’s right to get a raise when he/she is giving excellent service, and the company has no complaints against him/her.

Points to consider for letter writing:

  • Employees should keep things clear and never confuse outstanding performance with complaints.
  • The letter should be written in requesting language and sound polite.
  • The letter should never contain any complaint because the purpose is to write for the increment. Complaints in the letter give a negative impression.
  • The employee should never forget to mention punctuality and meeting the deadline as it is the plus point for feeling sad when not getting a raise after hard work.
  • Showing your loyalty to the company is essential so that higher management will investigate the case and grant a salary raise.
  • Never sound rude in the letter, as it can be a reason for anger for the manager.

Sample for grievance letter for not getting increment:

Date:

Name:

Dear,

I have served the company for three years and am working wholeheartedly for the organization. I am punctual, my attendance is excellent, and I always complete the task before the deadline. My immediate boss is satisfied with my performance, and I deal with my colleagues professionally, keeping the office environment relaxing and peaceful.

The main concern of writing this letter is that I am giving my services at a low salary, and I got the salary raise two years ago. I wanted the company to grow, and I liked to be a part of this organization, so I never insisted on raising the salary. I had requested the increment, but I didn’t get a positive response, which made me worried. I have done so much for the company and worked dedicatedly, but all in vain.

I received offers from other organizations, and they offered me a higher salary package with additional benefits, but I refused because I want your business to flourish. I requested the increment to fulfil the basic demands of the family, and I am sad that the company didn’t investigate the case and refused the raise.

Please resolve the concern. Waiting for a positive response from you!

Sincerely,

(Employee name)
