Just accepted a new job? Congratulations! After battling your way through updating your resume, tapping your professional and social networks, and passing through the gauntlet of multiple interviews, you deserve it.

But you’re not done yet: As you get ready to start your new job, be sure to maximize the value of your new salary with these important steps.

Ask for more. It’s not a matter of being greedy. Your hiring manager has a salary and benefits band within which he or she must work, and it’s unlikely you were offered the maximum amount available (unless you’re a really hot property and they wanted to hire you very badly). There’s nothing wrong with asking for more to see if you can take advantage of that inherent flexibility. Importantly, don’t limit yourself just to base salary — you might be able to get a signing bonus or a more attractive relocation package, including temporary housing while you look for somewhere to live. They might have more flexibility with their stock award budget than salary, for example. It doesn’t hurt to ask.

Roll over your old 401(k). Don’t neglect your old 401(k). You’ve got a few options, such as rolling it into your new company’s 401(k) or converting it into an IRA. Either way, don’t just cash it out, or you’ll be slammed with the full tax burden of the accumulated savings of the 401(k) and lose the tax-deferred benefit that fundamentally defines what a 401(k) is. You might also be able to leave it with your former employer’s program, but if your total 401(k) investment is small enough, they have the option of cashing it out and sending you a lump sum payment, which again carries tax penalties. Be sure to talk to your outgoing HR department for details if you’re not sure what to do.

Divert some of your new salary into savings. New job, new cash flow picture. You might be moving to a new location with a different cost of living, or you might have a higher take-home salary. Before you get a chance to settle into any routines, take this opportunity to divert some money from each paycheck directly to savings. If you never see the money appear in your checking account, you’ll never miss it.

A significant number of investors are preparing to confront the management of UBS on Thursday by voting against the Swiss bank’s 2011 pay award and denying executives formal approval of their actions.

The bank’s share price dropped 28 per cent last year and it lost $2.25bn in a rogue trade in London that caused the largest unauthorised trading loss on record in Britain. For the same period, the bank chose to pay 12 members of its executive board SFr70.1m ($77.1m) compared to SFr91m in the year before.

That has prompted advisory groups and institutional investors including ISS, Ethos, F&C and Hermes Equity Ownership Services to rebel against what they see as a lack of disclosure on how pay is calculated and a high proportion of variable pay.

George Dallas, director of corporate governance at F&C Management, which owns a 0.2 per cent stake in the bank, said: “UBS’s bonus pool for its executive board is still too high given the trading scandal, decreasing profits and a drop in market value in the past year.”

Natacha Dimitrijevic, head of European corporate governance at Hermes which represents 25 clients with a combined stake of 0.15 per cent, said it was worried about a lack of specific performance criteria for UBS bonuses. “Without assurances that large discretionary payouts can’t occur we cannot vote in favour of the pay scheme,” she said.

Although the exact voting intentions of shareholders will not be clear until the annual meeting, some investors say they expect the bank to face a more forceful vote than at fellow Swiss group Credit Suisse, where more than a third who voted refused to back its pay award.

The discontent among UBS shareholders also goes beyond the recent upsurge in investor activism expressed in non-binding votes on pay at other big banks including Citigroup and Barclays.

A large number of shareholders are expected to refuse to give management a clean bill of health for 2011 because of the trading scandal and UBS’s admission that the incident revealed “shortcomings” in its risk management. Under Swiss law, an investor forfeits most rights to sue management for actions in a given year by formally voting to “discharge” it of responsibility for that period.
