A promotion letter is a short document with three jobs: recording the new designation, the new reporting line, and the date it takes effect. Everything else belongs in a conversation.
Where compensation changes with the promotion, state it here rather than sending a separate appraisal letter — two documents for one event invites confusion about which applies.
Frequently asked questions
- Does a promotion have to come with a salary increase?
- Not as a matter of law, and promotions without one do happen — usually where the scope changes mid-cycle and compensation follows at the annual review. Say which it is, because silence is read as an oversight.
- Should a promotion letter restate the full employment terms?
- No. It should record what changes and state that everything else continues unchanged. Restating the whole contract invites an argument about what was altered by omission.
