Obviously be tactful and mindful of your environment, but you should absolutely raise this sooner rather than later. Not sure how your position came about or if this “promotion” was discussed at all during that processes but it may be a good idea to raise it with the partner that brought you in. Something like, “hey I know we discussed this prorated position but what will it take to bring me up to full position/salary. I expect to meet and go beyond my billable requirement something more akin to full associates,” etc. You get the picture.
They can modify the stated hourly expectation but I can guarantee you that they will not hesitate to work you beyond that if the work is there. This is in their interest to pay you less for more work. I have seen similar things happen to friends and coworkers to the point I was frustrated for them. Your instinct on salary vs bonus is totally on the right track though.
Adding that you should make your expectation clear because otherwise they’ll dangle the extra hours as an opportunity to prove yourself/loyalty without an end in sight. Perhaps you work with people that are kinder but what I’ve seen in these types of situations doesn’t inspire confidence.
Continued…. Your annual hourly only impacts your bonus potential. And I’d rather have the salary at this a stage of my life. So I’m wondering if I should be renegotiating this structure. Maybe it’s a question of how much I’d miss the new hourly expectation by, if I managed to get a serious salary bump.
What are your hourly expectations and pay at the moment? Are they proportional to the target hours and salary for your class year?
Also what happens when you hit your modified target hours? Do you get proportional extra pay for going over? If not then you’re definitely being screwed over.
Thanks for the input. I was told that if I exceed my hours for the year I’d be compensated for that, but it wasn’t stated whether that was in salary or bonus. Not sure how I stack up compared to other full time second years. My salary is 170K and annual hours are 1640 to be eligible for bonus.
Is a conversation about my below-standard pay scale (on a per hour basis) best handled with HR or my supervising partner during a review?
