salary adjustments
Compensation rate modifications
Salary adjustments are changes to an employee's pay, typically increases to reflect performance, cost of living, or market conditions.
The term is deliberately neutral—it can mean a raise, a cut, or a correction: Annual salary adjustments take effect in January.
HR departments favor the phrase because it covers any direction without promising anything specific.
