Negotiate benefits
Sometimes the benefits can be as important to you as the salary. A complete understanding of the facts is critical to your successful final negotiation. Be sure you understand all the benefits within the compensation package such as health, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, paid vacation and sick leave, retirement plans, profit-sharing and/or bonuses.
Find out details about vacation, sick time and any other benefit programs such as a continuing education allowance, commute credit allowance, sabbaticals, or a travel program. Depending on your lifestyle or domestic commitments, work hour flexibility may be important to you. And there are other benefits besides salary – such as travel reimbursements or moving expenses.
Negotiate responsibilities
If you will be taking on more responsibility from a previous job or more responsibility than was originally discussed, or if you will be working full time rather than part time, the salary should generally be increased for that.
