Interested in your opinion about the following: Should employees get their salaries adjusted by inflation once per year?

Why yearly, not monthly? Also what if there is deflation, do people get pay cuts?

A lot of these issues are very easy to criticize on the surface, I don't think many here have ever tried to employee people and work on profit margins.

can be monthly, should be put in a contract.

Yes, put it written form in a contract too.

What I suggest (employer and employee explicitly negotiating inflation/deflation terms) could be better than the standard song and dance we all are used to suffer.
