Firm gave out a special bonus to all employees but because of how I'm employed, I'm not getting it. My supervisor asked HR if they could make an exception for me but unfortunately not.

Feel very frustrated because I've gone over and beyond (like literally taking on lawyers work to cover for them) what was expected this year and consistently been told how grateful everyone is.

Advice welcome but I mainly just wanted to vent

Going above and beyond is generally a bad idea. Unless you are guaranteed to share in the profits generated by your extra work, the upside is minimal and the downside is steep. I advocate for doing barely more than the bare minimum, but exhibiting full and admirable competence at all times.

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

My firm has a 9-year partnership track as of a year or two ago. It has grown quickly from 5 to 7 to 9 in the past 10 or so years. In the written document that sets out the criteria for partnership, it basically says that your billable hours need to go up every year. Our minimum is 1900. I’m wondering how normal this increasing billables requirement is? I am torn between thinking it’s sensible and thinking it’s another example of law firms treating associates like machines.
