Resignation letter for unsatisfied salary
A resignation letter for unsatisfied salary is common when there have been circumstances where someone has asked for a salary raise or a promotion after some time spent working for the company.
We all know we work a certain amount of hours, have deadlines and demands at work that we would like to get compensated through a fair salary.
In some cases, due to management orders, some salaries can get reduced or simply a raise is denied due to many managerial reasons.
However, it is important not to mention any negative experiences or use language that can be interpreted as rude and disrespectful.
Here we will mention some examples of some particular situations related to unsatisfied salary.

In this scenario, we will see an example of a resignation letter due to deduction in salary, which has left this employee unsatisfied.
“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. __”
