Instead of taking the raise at the end of the year can you just divide it out by hours worked and reduce your work load? So no raise and 39 hr work wk; In 8 yrs you'd be @ same $$$ but 4 day work wk

That's kind of sounds amazing. (Work 3-4 months a year and then travel the rest). I wonder how many of those actually make that much though.. what is the average hourly pay for someone who does that (before overtime)?

like

Careful tho... The 3 people I know who did reduced hours for reduced pay ended up with the reduced pay, but no reduction in hours. You have to have a group committed enough to respect it.

Ahh gotcha. In that case, I don't believe it can be done how you're proposing. The firm, however, does offer flexible work arrangements. Something like 75% work for 75% pay. This would in-effect be similar to what you propose. You'd still get a salary increase every year, but your workload and pay would be reduced. Ask HR about it. There's definitely programs that are out there.

Also there are programs where basically they bring in temp staff for busy season. These temp staff get paid overtime and can make like $60K in 3 months for the busiest ones

Over time it would work out that way. I give up nothing by doing it slowly. Salary stays the same. Instead of a raise I work less.

like

Yea my only problem with a straight reduction in hours and pay is I want to keep my current salary. I don't care about a 3-5% raise after taxes. Guess I can't have it all 😆

@OP I'm confused. You want to keep your same salary but work only 80% of the time?

Ya but the firm would never do that. You're working less now for the promise of taking less pay in the future. The firm only breaks even at the end if you happen to stay that long. If you're actually looking for programs, the 75% salary for 75% work is the best you're gonna get. If you want 100% of your current pay you're gonna have to work at 100%.

Yeah, if you want to get fired

You could try to go to a90% schedule next year, 80% the next, etc. you might get to the same answer as noted above. It's possible. Have to set strict rules around when you're available.
