When to use

• Use after a genuine offer with verified decision authority.
• Obtain qualified legal or tax review for cross-border arrangements.

Procedure

1. Compare written offer, policy, job needs, location, schedule, and constraints.
2. Identify must-haves, preferences, alternatives, and evidence.
3. Clarify approved work location, hours, time zones, travel, office attendance, and change authority.
4. Address pay, benefits, equipment, expenses, connectivity, security, privacy, access, and safety.
5. Propose specific mutual terms and ask for written confirmation.
6. Review final documents and unresolved dependencies before acceptance.

Failure plan

• Do not rely on an informal promise that conflicts with written terms.

Worked example

A candidate secures written quarterly travel limits and an accessibility accommodation rather than “remote for now.”

Done

• A remote-offer comparison report and written request record terms, priorities, rationale, alternatives, and decisions
• Location, schedule, pay, travel, expense, tax, security, access, policy, and final-document checks verify agreement
