Your Compensation Package is More Than Just Your Salary

By

Have you considered things you can negotiate as part of your compensation? There are more items to consider than salary, so let’s break it down.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 31% of an individual’s compensation package consists of benefits.

Benefits may help to attract and retain talent and demonstrate how a company values its employees.

Employers must give employees time off to vote, serve jury duty, or perform military service. Employers must also comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and pay local, state, and federal taxes, and worker’s compensation.
