You should inquire more about the <em>employment package<\/em> or the <em>total compensation package<\/em>. A compensation package is a combination of salary and benefits an employer offers to the employee when giving a job offer. This typically includes your salary, paid time off (vacation, sick days and paid holidays), retirement, and health benefits. Beyond this, benefits could include paid maternity leave or extended maternity leave, and\/or other perks like an employer contribution to your health savings account or compensation towards a monthly gym membership.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Negotiate_fair_pay_based_off_of_your_skills_and_experience\"><\/span>Negotiate fair pay based off of your skills and experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are some fantastic, free tools available for you to search and find out whether the salary you are offered is fair and competitive. You can look on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indeed<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glassdoor<\/a> to research what an event planner in your area is paid. These websites also allow you to search for specific organizations and\/or comparable job titles to see if your job offer matched what others in the role are actually getting paid.<\/p>\n<p>Often times, the employer considers your skills and experience when offering a salary. The more skilled and experienced you are, the better offer you may receive. Do your research and don\u2019t be too greedy when asking for a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/08\/event-planners-salary-much-making\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">higher salary<\/a>, especially when starting out your career. Your earning potential will grow along with you as you gain more experience.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16471\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-03-20T114507.211.jpg\" alt=\"budgeting and planning as you negotiate first event planning job offer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-03-20T114507.211.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-03-20T114507.211-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_personal_budget_and_understand_how_the_benefits_package_affects_your_monthly_income\"><\/span>Create a personal budget and understand how the benefits package affects your monthly income<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When taking a new job, you need to adjust your budget and expenditures. Once your salary is confirmed, find out what your monthly deductions are. For example, every month, roughly 30% of my income is taxed. And there is an additional $350 removed for health insurance premiums. From here, I can estimate my total monthly income, and weigh it against the bills I need to pay, and how much I want to be saving per month. Understanding how the opportunity affects your total monthly income \u2013 all things considered \u2013 is very important.<\/p>\n<p>For any new opportunity, I always inquire deeply to understand how my overall employment package looks. As you\u2019re comparing event planner jobs, it\u2019s important for you to understand the whole compensation package offered and how it compares to other, similar job offers you may be interviewing for.<\/p>\n<h3>Ask the hard questions<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16472\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-03-20T115144.376.jpg\" alt=\"interview questions\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-03-20T115144.376.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-03-20T115144.376-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here are some questions I ask when looking more seriously at a job offer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you offer medical, dental, eye coverage?<\/li>\n<li>What is my deductible going to be?<\/li>\n<li>What are the out-of-pocket bi-weekly deductions that will come out of my paycheck?<\/li>\n<li>If I\u2019m moving for a role, will you offer relocation assistance?<\/li>\n<li>How much paid time off will I receive including vacation days, sick days, and paid company holidays?
