Memos:

A business memo is a document commonly used in the workplace to convey information to company employees. In that sense, it is an internal document, which means that, generally, the audience is internal to the company; it is not a form used for outside customers or clients.

The purpose of a memo, usually, is to inform employees of policies or other company-related

matters, such as a change in personnel within departments, change in a process or procedure,

or an upcoming company meeting.

An example of a business memo would be the following:

Memo

Date: March 25, 2019

To: Division Managers

From: Kimberly Stristan

Subject: New Benefits Policy—Effect on Budgets

Effective immediately, we will pay overtime of an additional $2.50 an hour for a total of $18.50

an hour for all contracted and part-time employees as of June 1st. This means that all budgets

for the second quarter may be impacted. Please advise if there is any change to your budgets

for the second quarter because of necessary overtime.

Any changes to your division budgets for the second quarter onward must be submitted to me

for review no later than April 20th. Since we are trying to reduce the actual expenditures in light

of recent economic downturns in the overall U.S. economy, we would appreciate if you would

scrutinize the necessity for any division budgetary changes before submission.
