Increment

We are three employees working for SGS

Argentina is going through 80% inflation environment and many companies in the country, from the smallest one to biggest corporates, increased salaries of their employees at least by this rate. The minimum wage increased even by this rate in 2022. However, we were granted only 15% increment in April.

We are qualified employees but our salaries have a small margin from the minimum wage. These poor salaries avoid us to focus on our jobs as we think of how to deal with cost of living.

We know that you approve these kind of increment, that’s why we are writing this e-mail to you directly to explain what we experience here. SGSis a big corporate and we believe that it takes care of its only three employees’ problem. In the end, we would like you to increase our salaries at least by 50%, effective from July 2022.

Corrections

However, we were only granted onlya 15% incrementraise in April.


Increment can be correct but many English speakers use the noun “raise” in this context.

We are qualified employees but our salaries have a small margin fromare barely above the minimum wage.

You could say “our salaries are a small margin from” but English speakers more commonly use “barely above” in this context.

These poor salaries avoid us tokeep us from focusing on our jobs as we think of how to deal with cost of living.

We know that you approve theseis kind of increment, traise. That’s why we are writing this e-mail to you directly to explain what we experience here.

these is plural so you can either say "these kinds of raises" or "this kind of raise"

SGS is a big corporate and we believe that it can takes care of itsthe problem of only three of its employees’ problem.

I am not sure what is trying to be said here.

In the end, we would like you to increase our salaries by at least by 50%, effective from July 2022.

I mean SGS is a so big company that it can protect its employees against the inflation.
