Crotalito,

You're using words that are not used in English, and I believe you misunderstood the meaning of 'hire'.

While a fortnight is indeed two weeks, we don't use this word in everyday conversation. It's never used when talking about how often we get paid. A company uses the word 'pay period' to define the amount of time that passes before they pay the employee. The employee's 'payday' is at the end of each 'pay period'. If 'payday' happens 'every two weeks', the company uses the word 'biweekly' to describe how often the employee gets paid. A quincenal is a good translation of 'a biweekly payday', or 'biweekly pay'.

'Biweekly' actually has two meanings in English. The other meaning is 'twice a week', and corresponds to the Spanish word bisemanal. When we're talking about a pay period, however, we understand 'biweekly' to mean 'every two weeks'.

Not everyone is paid biweekly (every two weeks). Some are paid each week (weekly). Many people are paid on the 15th (day of the month) and the last day of the month (or the next business day close to those dates).

'Hire' is contratar, when used as a verb. When used as a noun, it means empleado, but this is normally used in conjunction with the word 'new'. A 'new hire' is someone who was just hired by the company. It is never used to indicate a different position (new to the employee) within the same company.
Instead of 'hire', I think you meant to say 'raise' (an increase in pay/salary). The verb is 'give a raise', if you're the employer, or 'get a raise', if you're the employee.

Here is what I think you meant to write:

Dear Mr. John,

You have been promoted to the level of Junior Salesman in the company.

Commensurate with this achievement, you will make five hundred dollars more each pay period.

Then you will have a hire of one thousand in your next fortnight. (I think this contradicts the previous statement.)

If you would like to attain a higher level within the company you should study more about law. By so doing, you will be able to increase your pay grade by one step per month.

If you are agree with your new salary, please sign this contract. It sets forth your level, your new position and your new salary per pay period.

You should be happy about your new position. You have earned the new assignment and it is a good position to hold within the company. You have new goals (to set/make/reach/attain) and new responsibilities in your new position.

You have received a raise and that is good.

I wish you the best in your new endeavor (post).

Sincerely,

Mr. Brain
Human Resources
