My dream cba has a generous balance of cash up front, cash every month, and cash at the end of the rainbow. I don't have tunnel vision on just retro pay. But, the very first secton I read is not section 3, it will be section 1.....SCOPE.
Simple.....What "buys"
your vote....
YOU have your specific "price".
I'm sick and tired of hearing from guys/gals who have 'signed YES' on past CBA's only to have "
agreement remorse". "What!! BUT I thought it meant this"?!?
As long as YOU know what you signing when they toss a "BONUS" at you (vs RETRO PAY), it's NOT truely Retro Pay per the taxes.....and the post-tax implication hit will show you as so. If you are fully versed on the difference & understand what your taking home on it, then sign away!!
After listening to the "pi$$ing/moaning" of those who took the tax hit on the 'cash payout' from this year's "Profit Sharing Crumbs", I CAN'T wait to see the jaw's of those same individuals go through the floor when they see the tax hit on your 70% "Bonus" vs what they perceive as "Retro Pay".....Just to be clear.
....But you knew that.
