salary adjustment
Compensation rate modification
A salary adjustment is a change to an employee's pay, typically an increase but sometimes a decrease.
The term often serves as bureaucratic or euphemistic language for a raise: After her performance review, she received a salary adjustment.
Adjustments may reflect inflation, market conditions, promotions, or corrections to pay inequities.
