Refusal of Employee Request for Early Raise
Dear
Although the company appreciates all that you have pointed out in your letter, we do not believe
a raise is in order at this time. It is the custom of (Name of Company) to review all employee benefits
and compensation in July, at the end of the fiscal year.

Certainly, at that time you will be considered for a salary increase, providing the production figures for
your division are significantly increased.
