Understanding correctly for smart negotiation
Gross and Net salary often leads to disappointment for candidates when they receive their payslip. Equip yourself with knowledge to protect your rights.
Gross Salary: Total income (before deductions for insurance and taxes).
Net Salary: The actual amount you receive after deductions.
Effective Salary Negotiation Tactics:
Always ask about insurance contributions: Does the company base insurance contributions on your net salary or the minimum wage? This directly affects maternity and unemployment benefits.
Prioritize negotiating Gross salary: This makes it easier to compare between companies and ensures your social insurance benefits are calculated at the highest possible rate.
Value-based negotiation: Demonstrate that your proposed salary is commensurate with the profit or value you will bring to the business.
Tip: Use online gross-net salary calculators (like the one on Joblinks) to be certain of your actual earnings before signing the contract.
