Do you give secretary annual cash bonus?

Date: June 9th, 2013 9:47 AM Author: Lake Embarrassed To The Bone Cumskin I have been at my firm for 3 years, only given gift once ($100). Is this wrong? Should I have given a bigger cash bonus and done it more often? What's the norm at your firm? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2277090&forum_id=2#23358093) |

I mail out gifts to clients come X-mas time and my secretary gets the same gift as the clients get that year (Kindles one year, Touchpads another, iPods a third).

tbf, a secretary would have to be pretty fucking good to get more than 300 from me. |

Date: June 11th, 2013 12:38 PM Author: navy hairraiser den It really should depend on your level of seniority and how often you use the secretary/her performance. But whoever is saying $100 per class year is full of shit - you won't find any associate giving their secretary $500+ bonuses.
I've also given individual gifts to paralegals, and our firm also organizes bonuses for support staff and all the associates are supposed to contribute something like $20-$50 to that pot. |
