One thing I love our boss for is that he always knows when to give you a pay raise without being asked for .   Really ? How can he be so sure about the timing ?   He just knows either by your excellent performance at work or by the annual review .   Well . This must save lots of employees from worrying about how to write a salary increase letter . You know how tough it is . Do all the employees receive the same pay increase annually ?   Actually not ! Our company pays for performance .   I like this system . It will encourage the best employees and motivate those who want to make a change at work .
