What would create liability for an employer is if the employer lowers the employee\u2019s pay rate after they accept the job offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Look_at_the_big_picture\"><\/span>Look at the big picture <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As always, <em>caveat emptor<\/em>, or buyer beware, says Westfall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake sure you look at the total package, not just the salary,\u201d he said. \u201cJust like getting a great deal on a car \u2014 if it\u2019s not really the car that you want or the car that can handle all your stuff, you didn\u2019t really get a good deal.
