The answer

If the increase in wages is an independent bonus to encourage the worker, then it is permissible and considered a form of 'ja'l' (payment for a specific task or achievement).

However, if the increase is part of the salary, this leads to 'jahala' (uncertainty) in the wage. One of the conditions for a valid 'ijara' (lease or hiring contract) is that the wage must be known, either as a fixed amount or a percentage of the profit. Combining a fixed amount with a percentage is, according to the preponderant opinion, impermissible.
