Asked Questions: |
Make
sure you don't settle for less! Every
employment situation is unique, but no situation
is “take it or leave it”.
We will assist you in negotiating your compensation,
benefits, and incentives package. Don’t
leave dollars, benefits, and perks off the table!
I
don’t think I can negotiate the job offer
I received because the company has established
salary ranges, fixed benefits, certain incentives/perks,
and I may lose the offer, right?
Wrong! No employment offer is a “take
it or leave it” situation. All
offers can and should be negotiated. Your new
employer EXPECTS you to negotiate the offer,
even after they tell you it’s the best
they can do. Don’t leave dollars,
benefits, and perks off the table.
Should I sign
a non-compete clause, arbitration agreement,
confidentiality clause, and/or other restrictive
covenants in my employment application or agreement?
Think twice before signing anything!
In many states, any agreement an employee signs
is not valid unless the employer provides something
to the employee to enter into the agreement.
For example, reasonable restrictions on your
ability to work in a business that competes
with your former employer are usually lawful.
Whether the agreement is deemed reasonable ordinarily
depends on the duration of the restriction;
its geographic limits; and the activity prohibited.
Interpretations of law vary widely from
state to state. It is best to contact us to
determine whether the restrictions placed on
you are legal.
Contact
us to be sure you ask for everything you
have earned and deserve, such as the right amount
of incentive compensation, vacation/PTO, perks,
private equity/stock options, deferred compensation,
retirement benefits, and insurance coverage
that others are receiving at your level of employment.
