My boss told me that my bonus will be deferred until all of this settles down. He’s trying to avoid lay offs as much as possible and is emphasizing the need for the attorneys to bill their hours.

That’s completely understandable. A decent boss will defer bonuses and reduce compensation before laying off at times like these.

I agree. I ran out of space to add more, but we really appreciate our staff and would hate to lay any of them off

Are there any executives out there who have recently negotiated with their CEO for an updated compensation package? I know I'm being underpaid as a CFO who has also handled all of the HR responsibilities for the past 3 years. Currently at $130K with $30K bonus at the end of the year. I don't take the insurance through the company either. Currently no 401K match program available.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
