Salary negotiation planner

Prepare a remuneration discussion. Use the prompts below as a working document, then save or print your answers.

Use the current Fair Work guidance for minimum conditions and compare total remuneration rather than a headline figure.

Working prompts

1. Base salary and superannuation treatment
   
2. Comparable roles with scope, location and date
   
3. Bonus triggers and historical payment
   
4. Equity, vesting and tax advice needed
   
5. Your proposed figure and minimum acceptable package
   
6. Non-salary terms and a follow-up date
   

Check before you act

Which entry is based on an assumption? What additional evidence would change your decision? Who can give you a useful challenge rather than simply agree?
