[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, billable hour requirement doesn’t change unless there is a formal change to your work schedule (you go 80% or have maternity leave). Sick days, funerals, vacation. Billable requirement is the same. [/quote]

OP here: If that is true, in what sense is this “paid time off”? I checked the written policy and it says bereavement leave is paid time off “treated as time worked.” I supposed it doesn’t says “billable time worked,” but then what is the point of it? The policy has different amounts of time for different relatives. What is the point if the hours requirement is the same???[/quote]

You get paid even though you were not physically there. Same with vacation. We got 3 weeks. Billable hours were the same. You basically have to figure out your daily requirement after accounting for whatever leave you will take. Allegedly the billable requirement is set with this in mind so they have already taken out those hours for your leave.

Biglaw is a little crazy. That is why they pay so much. [/quote]
