With layoffs looming in your company, you’re happy just to have your job. But your pitiful pittance? Not so much. There are many cool non-monetary benefits that you can negotiate for with your boss—and not one involves a single cent. Here are some of them.

A better title. Let’s face it: some job titles just aren’t sexy. So if you’ve been toiling away as an Administrative Assistant for quite a while now, getting a shiny new job title can be a big benefit. Not only will it make you feel better, but it’ll give you more clout around the water cooler, too. And a fancy title also equals extra cash. After all, having a better title means that when you start your job search you’ll be able to apply for better job positions—and earn a higher salary.

Housing assistance. If you live over two hours (each way) from your job, your commute can be a killer—especially if you clock late hours. Find out if you can get a housing subsidy from your employer so you can avoid traveling home super late. For example, some companies have a rental home you can stay in, or will even cover the costs of a hotel room.

Childcare support. Ask any working parent what eats up almost half their paycheck, and they’ll woefully answer childcare. Employers can help keep you happy (and in your position) if they contribute a percentage to your childcare expenses. But if your boss won’t pony up, you (and fellow working parents) can collectively approach your employer to ask if she would consider an on-site childcare facility instead.

Wardrobe stipend. When you’re meeting with Fortune 500 CEOs, your Cheerios-encrusted poly-blend blouse just won’t do. Depending on your title and the duties associated with your position, you should negotiate for a wardrobe stipend. It can pay for some chic office-friendly clothing staples, like a figure-flattering pencil skirt and Louboutins.

Transportation costs. Sure, you feel like your company should pay for your commuting costs. Unfortunately, they don’t feel the same way. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t ask for your monthly train fare to be reimbursed. Some companies even have employer-sponsored transportation programs in place that can help offset your expenses.

Flex schedule. One of the biggest non-salary perks of working in an office is not having to actually go into the office. Schedule a meeting with your supervisor to negotiate working from home at least part-time. Having even one day off during the week when you don’t have to schlep into work can make a world of difference.

Cool office space. Yes, you work in an uncool cubicle but you have your eye on that office that just opened up. So speak to your boss and see if you can move on up—and into a space that has an actual door. Having your own separate (and private) space can give you a much-needed boost of happiness.

Even if you can get a raise, you can still earn great benefits from your company. So decide which non-monetary benefits will be the most beneficial to you. Then be prepared to negotiate your way to better benefits—and a better worklife balance.
