Sample Letter for Refusal of Employee Request for Early Raise Dear [Employee's Name], I hope this correspondence finds you well. I would like to address your recent request for an early raise and discuss the reasons behind our decision to refuse it at this time. Firstly, I want to acknowledge your dedication and hard work throughout your tenure with our company. Your commitment and contributions to our team have not gone unnoticed, and we value your efforts in helping us achieve our goals. However, after carefully considering your request, we are unable to grant you an early raise due to several reasons. I would like to outline these reasons in detail to provide you with a clear understanding of our decision. 1. Performance Evaluation: In order to determine merit-based salary adjustments, we conduct annual performance evaluations. Our review process involves assessing employees' performance against predefined objectives, skill development, and overall contribution to the organization. As your most recent performance evaluation was conducted only [specify time], it is not yet time to review your salary. 2. Budgetary Restraints: Our company operates within a carefully planned budget to ensure financial stability and growth. As we encounter economic fluctuations, it is imperative that we allocate our resources efficiently and effectively. At this point, granting early raises would disrupt our budgetary planning and potentially impact other essential aspects of our operation. 3. Consistency and Fairness: Treating all employees fairly and consistently is an important principle we strive to uphold within our organization. Granting an early raise to one employee may create an imbalance and dissatisfaction among other team members who have not requested the same. To maintain a harmonious work environment, we must ensure that compensation decisions are made based on impartial and equitable criteria. While we understand that an early raise would fulfill your personal expectations, we encourage you to continue demonstrating your dedication and commitment to your role. By focusing on exceeding performance expectations, further skill development, and additional contributions to the team and company, you can position yourself favorably during your next performance evaluation. We appreciate your understanding regarding our decision at this time. However, please note that this refusal does not preclude the possibility of a salary review during the next performance evaluation cycle. We remain committed to providing our employees with competitive compensation packages in line with their contributions and achievements. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to discuss them with your supervisor or the HR department. We value open communication and are here to support you in your professional growth and development. Thank you for your ongoing dedication and contribution to our organization. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Position] [Company Name]
