[quote=Anonymous]I am thinking of asking my employer (small law firm) if we can work out an 80% schedule. There is no precedent for this at this firm and I am not really familiar with how the nuts and bolts work for those who do it. I am envisioning being in the office 30 hours a week, billing 20-25 (I am not very efficient, I realize this). Is that reasonable, or does 80% really mean 40 hours/week (which is a little less than what is expected now)? Also, I am not sure how receptive the partners will be to this request. I was thinking of pitching a salary reduction (but how much?) and also giving up benefits. I can get health insurance through my DH, could contribute more on my own to retirement, etc. Is this the norm? Or is it the norm to keep benefits? What about vacation time, sick time, reimbursement for expenses like bar registration fees, CLE's etc.? Thanks for any input![/quote]
