I would like to negotiate a higher salary, but I do not want to do it without justification and I do not want to cause her to retract the offer. Negotiating your salary when you get a new job offer can be nerve-wracking.However, there are proven techniques that can help you effectively negotiate. Welcome to the Salary Negotiations workshop. You should ask for and receive an offer letter. An offer letter ensures that you and your employer understand the position and its offer. You can negotiate and offer "anytime" before you accept and start. As long as you have not accepted the offer letter, the whole 'negotiation' is still in play. Fill out the "Negotiation Worksheet" with the information from your offer. Dear Parent: Please fill out the following information so that your child may participate in the Child Care.
