# Salary Adjustment Request

> Request a change to an employee's pay rate, including the pay type, the new rate or salary, the effective date, and the reason.

A Salary Adjustment request asks for approval to change an employee's pay, such as a merit increase or a change in pay type. After you submit it, the request follows the configured approval workflow before being approved, rejected, or returned for revision.

## Create a Salary Adjustment Request

### Prerequisites

Before submitting a Salary Adjustment request:

* You must have an active employee account.
* You must have permission to request salary changes for the selected employee.
