q******0 发帖数: 32 | 1 Ask for a face to face meeting rather than try to present your case in a
letter, which is just a one-way communication and doesn't allow you to
develop a mutual understanding of the situation and what to do about it.
Simply ask your boss for a review meeting to discuss your responsibilities
and remuneration. In the meeting ask what the opportunities are and/or
process by which you can improve your salary package. Follow the principles
described here - the process needs to be two-way discussion. Approach it
positively and constructively. Ask what flexibilities exist and what the
rationale is for setting and increasing pay levels. Who does your boss have
to make a case to? Will he/she support you? What would improve your case?
What commitments would the company want from you? What exchanges can be
agreed - what you can put in and what can be given in return. It's a
discussion, not a demand.
Separately, before the meeting you must get an objective view and measure of
your market worth. Look at other similar jobs outside as well as inside the
company and compare them to your own responsibilities and rewards. Personal
views about reward and job-load can become very subjective and need to be
validated or it's difficult for you (or anyone else) to decide how deserved
the claim is.
If you are so nervous about asking verbally for a meeting and therefore need
to write, keep it very simple, particularly do not include any details of
your position or justification or financial claim. Here's a sample letter
for a review meeting request:

(Alternatively an email or memo - but make sure it's kept private and
discreet.)
