Ireland - negotiating your pay and benefits?

Negotiating your pay and benefits

Normally the remuneration package is stated before the process takes place. For this reason, there is not a lot of room for financial or other negotiations.

Remuneration can be expressed in hourly, weekly, monthly or yearly terms. Usually professional and clerical jobs are expressed as a yearly salary, while jobs in building, retail, hotel and catering are expressed in hourly terms.

Holiday, benefits and other non-pay issues are included in the pay listed. In general, the personnel officer/manager negotiates pay and any extra benefits.
