EDMONTON | RED DEER

PET OF THE WEEK Animal ID: 87506 Hi, my name is Baxter and I am a sweet and affectionate boy looking for a patient and loving home to call my own. I was I was returned to the Edmonton Humane Society as my owners are moving and unable to take me with them. I love to be with people and may be vocal when alone, please ensure your neighbours are ok with my singing voice. I really really love people and sometimes forget how big I am and jump up to say hi!

For this reason I am looking for a home with children 8+ to prevent me from overwhelming anyone. I would love to take classes here at the shelter with you to help refine my manners. I can be choosy about my canine friends too and find small animals fun to chase, so am looking for a home where I can be the only pampered pet. I will also need an active home that can give me all the mental and physical exercise an energetic boy like me needs! I hope to find my new family and forever home soon.

Hi there! My paw-fect home will be an experienced, active, structured and give me lots of love. I am more of a ‘people pooch’, so I will do best in a home where I am the only dog. Please ensure you provide me with daily exercise and consistent house rules. Do you have a backyard? Awesome, because I totally need a backyard!

So we can play as off leash parks are too overwhelming for me. I am excited to attend ‘Polite Pooches’ with you because it’ll allow you and me to start our life off together on the right paw.

I am ready to start our journey together, so please come soon!

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I just turned down a job offer, because they wanted me to sign an agreement saying that I would not work for one of their competitors for six months after leaving the company. This is the first time I’ve been asked to agree to these kinds of terms. What else should I be on the lookout for when negotiating a job offer? Signed, Cautious

Dear Cautious: Before you sign a non-compete or non-solicitation agreement, you may want to consult with a lawyer to ensure the employer is not unfairly restricting your future career options.

Do you have a work-related question?

Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.

When considering a job offer, you should also ensure you understand the offer and consider all the terms of employment such as hours, salary and benefits.

Get the offer in writing or take detailed notes of a verbal offer and then have the employer confirm the details via email or fax.

Find out when you will be working and for how long? Will there be any shift work, overtime, or travel?

Is the overtime paid or unpaid? Some professions are exempt from overtime rules. Will you be required to use your personal vehicle? If so, will you be compensated for mileage and insurance costs?

Compensation – What is the salary or wage? Are you eligible for any performance bonuses or commissions? Are tips involved? If so, will you be expected to share your tips with anyone else? Are there scheduled salary increases and cost-of-living raises or do you have to negotiate each one?

Other benefits - What about health and dental coverage, pensions or retirement savings programs, vacation, sick days, personal days, severance pay, employee wellness programs, vehicle allowance, daily living allowance (if travel is required), and parking?

Most employers expect you to think about the offer before you decide. Let the employer know that you are interested in the job, and that you will make a decision within a specific period of time, e.g. one or two days maximum.

Evaluate the offer - If you are not sure how good the offer is, you can check it against industry standard salaries, benefits and working conditions by: • Reviewing the Alberta Occupational Profiles available on the ALIS web site at www.alis.alberta.ca; and • Looking at the Alberta Wage and Salary Survey on the ALIS web site.

If you are unsatisfied with the salary offered, but are still interested in the job, you might want to counter the employer’s offer. Try suggesting other benefits like an extra week of vacation, free parking, or a better job title.

Careful, once you have accepted the job, it will be tough to negotiate changes to the offer.

If you are making a counter-offer, be prepared to explain why you are worth the extra pay or vacation time.

For more tips, read the Handing Job Offers tip sheet on the ALIS website alis.alberta.ca.

Good luck!
