Compensation Information for In-house Counsel
ACC’s “Leading Practices in Compensation Programs and Retention Strategies for
In-house Lawyers: What Companies are Doing” focuses on strategies
to help promote and achieve an equitable position for the in-house
team.
And if you don’t feel you’re getting compensated as you should,
we
recommend ACC’s In-house Jobline. With more than 400 positions posted monthly, the In-house Jobline is the only place to find your next position or hire legal staff.
Employers providing reservist/employees with compensation during
military service may be required to reimburse monies withheld for FICA
and FUTA. ACC’s Labor & Employment Law Committee has prepared
an Alert to provide up-to-date information on related laws and rulings,
as well as information on pending legislation that addresses these
issues. Be sure to refer to http://www.acca.com/networks/lelaw.php
for updated information on this matter.
