[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do it on a flex schedule and I don’t have a billable hour requirement. (I get paid hourly).

What didn’t you like about it before? What would your billable hour requirement be? [/quote]

This is exactly what I want to ask for in the next round.  Do you get paid a percentage of billables or collections? Are you happy with the arrangement? Do you still get benefits (like 401k, insurance, CLE)? [/quote]

I get paid hourly for the hours I bill but I am also asked write client alerts, etc. and I have a certain amount of non-billable hours I get paid for too (since I’m not really on a promotion track and there would not really be incentive for me to do that for free).

I get 401k and malpractice insurance. I get CLE for free thru the firm - they also pay my bar memberships. I got health insurance and paid vacation at my prior firm - but I don’t get those things at my current firm (we use my husband’s health insurance for our family now). They increased my hourly rate when I first started to account for those things.

I am mostly happy with it. I’m generally glad that if I work more I get paid more.

Where is the office - is it possible for you to go in occasionally?  I find it helpful to occasionally see people in person, fwiw. [/quote]
