With effective from today, I am resigning from this company because of insufficient salary package.

Sample 4 resignation letter due to low salary increment

“Dear Sir,

I am writing because I would like to submit my official letter of resignation. I have been working with this company for three years and I have been at different branches all over the world.

However I can say that I have not been to a more disorganised branch than this one. My job requires that I travel from branch to branch and hand in my report but over the last six months the my low salary has become a big headache for me and my family.

Salary is something that is fixed each month and in the last six months my salary has been lower and lower due to the deductions without any reason and even my daily wages that I get for my labor supply have been reduced. I have sent various letters to complaint and have even talked to the my head in this company in person for discussions but unfortunately, nothing has been done.

Now finally I am resigning. This has cause me a lot of stress as I also have bills to pay and a family that rely on me to provide for them. I hope that you sort this out for your future employees and I wish you all the best in the future.

Kind regards,

Mr. __”

Sample 5 resignation letter due to low salary increment

“The Manager HR,

Dear Sir,

It is with regret that I tender my resignation from the post of store in-charge on account of insufficient salary.

As you know, I have been working efficiently for one year in the company and my performance is admired by all senior officers and colleagues time to time.

I am sorry to inform you that salary which the company is offering is insufficient as compared to my expenses. Irony is that no increment is added in this salary since my date of appointment. Having seen the static growth in terms of earning, I have been desperate and forlorn.

You are requested to accept my resignation by virtue of insufficient salary and give clearance at your earliest.

With regards

XYZ

Store In-charge”
