Other alternative work options |
|
|---|---|
| Please describe any other alternative work arrangements: |
The Firm presumes that all attorneys will, from time to time, avail themselves of flexible work schedules. It is incumbent on each attorney to apprise anyone who might reasonably need to know when s/he will be not be physically in the office during normal work hours. Formal permission to avail oneself of this flexibility on an ad hoc basis is not required. The Firm also has a reduced hours program which differs from flexible work arrangements as it reflects a consistent, rather than an occasional or ad hoc, practice of being away from the office and/or not participating in either the Firm or Client business at the hours levels expected of a full-time attorney. All attorneys are eligible to propose a reduced hours schedule. |
