[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of these posts demonstrate a real lack of understanding of law firm fiances, and the purpose of the associate bonus. [/quote] Or can also demonstrate that firms take different approaches to bonuses in outlier situations.[/quote] What is outlier about this situation? Looking around my firm, almost everyone who has been here for more than 3 years has taken leave for some period. Parental leave is the most common type but people also take medical and bereavement. The associate bonus is a carrot to motivate you to make hours and stay at the firm. That is why they have a scale with fixed amounts and why a lot of firms have started paying it spring of the following year rather than at Christmas/lateral season.[/quote]
