Your paycheck will cover your monthly bills, but you also need to consider employee benefits, perks and the non-tangible things that make a job a good one.

  2. Evaluate the Job Offer Before you say yes, you’ll take the job, consider the entire compensation package – salary, benefits, perks, work environment, the schedule and the hours. Also, consider the job description and if you would be happy working at this job with this company. Weigh the pros and cons and take some time to think about the offer. You don’t have to say yes right away if you are going to accept. Ask the employer when they need a response by. If you have two offers to consider, use a comparison list to help you decide which one to accept. Evaluate Employee Benefits and Perks Employee benefits, including health insurance, retirement plans, vacation and sick leave, and life and disability insurance can represent up to 30% of your compensation package. It’s important to take the time to review what you’re offered to make sure it’s what you and your family need at this stage of your working life. Get a Good Retirement Plan Not all retirement plans are created equal. A great retirement plan can significantly increase the value of a job offer, and may even trump higher salary at another employer. Review these guidelines for what constitutes a good retirement plan, so you can compare what you may have already with what you’re being offered. How to Accept or Decline a Job Offer

  3. Once you have made a decision to accept or decline the offer, it’s time to let the employer know. Take the time to formally accept or turn down the position. Do it gracefully so you don’t burn any bridges with the prospective employer.
