Salary Review Request template

A salary review request form that makes an employee's case reviewable instead of awkward. It asks when they started the role, when their pay last changed, what they are asking for and at what figure, what has changed in their scope, and what market data backs it up. A logic rule asks what the manager said only when the conversation has already happened.

When to use this template

A People team formalizing off-cycle raise requests so every case arrives in the same shape
A manager who wants the scope-and-impact evidence written down before compensation calibration
A growing company introducing salary bands and needing a paper trail of who asked, when, and for what
An employee-facing process where asking for a raise by Slack message has been the norm

Tips to get more from it

The has-your-manager-heard-this question drives the skip rule: answer "Not yet" and the what-did-they-say box disappears, which stops the form from implying the employee skipped a step.
The figure is a number field, so requests sort and total in the CSV export — useful when finance needs the aggregate cost of a review round before decisions get made.
The two long-answer questions are where the case is actually won. Keep their descriptions, which coach employees toward specific examples and named market comparators rather than general statements about hard work.
The ending screen says decisions land in the next cycle. Replace that with your real cadence — an unanswered raise request does more damage than a declined one.

Questions people ask

What should an employee include in a salary review request?

Time in role, when pay last changed, the specific ask and figure, concrete scope or impact changes since the last review, and market data. The form asks for each in turn so nothing important gets left out.

Who sees the request?

Responses go to the form owner — usually People Ops — and the form collects the manager's email so the request can be routed for a first response. Turn on response notifications so nothing sits unread.
