I was downsized by this company 6 years ago and had worked for them for 8 years prior. I am now in talks with them about another oppertunity but they do not want to let me start back with those 8 years. I looked up standard practice and according to the standards at the Society of Human Resources Management HR should give me my time back cause I was downsized (not fired for cause and I did not quit). What should I do?

I don’t believe they have to follow standard practice if it’s not law. If you don’t negotiate that in your offer it probably won’t happen. Let them know you have another offer on the table and that accepting this role will be contingent on if they’re willing to work with you on the number of years.

Of course they don’t need to but if its standard practice according to an accredited society it justifies me asking for it. Im just trying to figure out if they don’t budge is it a slap in the face again and should I even go back.

What is the benefit of getting that time back? Can you negotiate whatever you really want separately without counting that time?

The one year thing is what they are saying they do. But when I was there people who had come back got there time back and I was even told if I came back they would give it to me when they laid me off. And I am pretty sure there was no policy on that at all written formally. I requested to see that policy but have not been given it yet because I don’t believe one exists.

I would stand firm on it, or negotiate a significant salary increase.

Agree with the below, in the range of 15-20%

You should negotiate for a salary increase. I think a 15-25% increase would be reasonable.
