What days is your firm "closed" for the Holidays?

As an associate, it was considered a treat to have a 1/2 day on 12-24 and 12-31.

We are closed 12-23 and 12-26 this year, closing at Noon on 12-30, but open on 01-02-23.

What's your schedule and how much grumbling are you hearing from Associates and non-attorney staff?

How does your firm calculate your pay each year?

If so, how is it broken down? Is it quantified throughout the year to tabulate how you’re doing, so you can forecast a likely year-end amount for yourself? In other words, how is your number baked up each year?

We are a very small firm. I have had a paralegal working for me for 14 years. She is my longest tenured employee. She is good but by no means a superstar. I have given her a raise and bonus annually. I am trying to figure out at what point I might stop giving her raises. On the one hand, she is a valuable employee. On the other hand, I could probably get someone cheaper who could do the job as well and giving a raise every year because she expects one may be too generous. I appreciate input.
