Returning from work after a year of mat leave (Toronto in-house at a BIG company) - can I expect my salary to increase as though I was still working over that year? (Regular increase, obviously not expecting a bonus. Am hoping to get something to keep up with inflation but I don’t know if that’s standard.)

I'm just here to express my jealousy over your ONE YEAR maternity leave. Good for you!!

We’re very fortunate up here. You’re actually entitled to 18 months if you can make it work.

Does anyone else get the regular increase? Like cost of living adjustment? If others get it, you can get it too. If it’s merit/performance based, it might hard for you to get the increase, just my thoughts

It’s usually both! Annual cost of living/regular adjustment based on the performance of the firm generally + a performance bonus. Thanks for the response.

I would assume no, but based off the fact your company allowed you a full year off, you never know!

In Canada you’re entitled to 18 months!

Omg a year 🙌🏻

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

How to negotiate salary when you’ve given them a range? I recently panicked and told the recruiter my expected range.

Should you always negotiate salary? I told an employer what my salary range was and they offered the top range in the first round of negotiations? My total comp would be an additional 25% on top of salary. I’m elated about the offer but I’m concerned they’ll have doubts about me moving into a contract negotiation role if I don’t negotiate. Is this a valid concern or am I over thinking it?
