The Legal Risk Score of a Salary Increase Letter Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document does not specify the exact amount of the salary increase, which could lead to misunderstandings or disputes about the terms agreed upon.
- Without specific effective dates mentioned for the salary increase, there may be confusion about when the changes are supposed to be implemented, potentially affecting financial planning.
- The document mentions that all other terms and conditions of the employment agreement will remain the same, but does not clarify what these are, which might leave room for oversight or assumptions about important employment conditions.
