Personal Relation Issue

Hi Everyone,I am working as Sr. HR Executive in a manufacturing company, and in the same company my fiancee is working but in different department. He has some salary issues and he put a mail to me (to HR) to increase in his salary.Here all the decisions about salary increase is taken by our MD and i am feeling hesitation to talk with my MD about my finance's salary issue.
Please suggest how should i manage this situation.

Hi,
Just be professional.Dont hesitate.Treat him as employee only and follow the same procedure as you would follow in case of another employee.
Your management might be aware of your relationship and they believe that you are professionals..So Keep calm,take a deep breathe.Forget for some time
that he is fiance,In office you are colleagues only.
I hope you will understand.Its not a big issue.I am also working with my husband in the same company and successfully tackled such situations and grivances issues.

Dear Nisha,

Love has complicated this matter little bit.

You are Sr HR Executive and your fiancé is working in the same company but in different department. If he had some salary issues then how come he did not discuss this with you before sending a mail? Secondly, mails of this kind need to be routed through the HOD. What are the remarks of the HOD on his application?

I recommend you talking to your fiancé. Tell him that if you involve at this stage, staffs in general and MD in particular could perceive that you are pitching for his salary increase. Mere having honest intentions is not sufficient but then taking care of others perceptions is also important. Therefore, let him route the application though HOD. Let HOD discuss the matter directly with MD. Let the matter come to you after the decision of MD.

Thanks,

Dear Sir,
Thanks for your valuable inputs but there is only me who is taking care all over HR in my company and i am also assisting MD.
So no one is involved in this issue.
