Guides / Ask for a raise
Get it in writing: the follow-up email
A short email that confirms what was agreed.
Raises and promises made in a meeting can get lost when budgets change or managers move on. A short follow-up email creates a record.
What to include
- Thanks for the conversation
- What was agreed: the amount, or the goals and the date to revisit
- When it takes effect
- Any next steps
Example
"Thanks for meeting today. To confirm, we agreed my salary will increase to $63,500 starting with the April 1 pay period. I appreciate your support."
