# Requesting a Pay Rate Review (The Adjustment Form)

## Purpose: The formal process for contesting or requesting a rate change.

**Audience**

**When to Use**

Use this if you believe your rate is misaligned or you have a role change.

**Instructions**

1\. Review the 'Payment Rates Guide' for your region.

2\. Access the official 'Rate Adjustment Request Form'.

3\. Fill in your details and the reason for the request.

4\. Expect a response within the 5-business-day SLA.

**Troubleshooting / Exceptions**
