Thats really low for those billable.

No, not for a 5th year. 1700 is a pretty nice target but that pay is pretty low

What’s your rate?

Then base doesn’t sound insane to me.

Additional Posts in Labor & Employment Attorneys

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?
