Junior Lawyer Pay Heartbreak? DLA Phillips Fox Spy Offers New Info on Rumour

We reported yesterday the heartaching rumour that DLA Phillips Fox staff were subject to a revelutionary pay

reduction. We received the following update from an anonymous DLAPH spy last night:

I am an employee of DLA Phillips Fox (Sydney) and ‘all’ staff have not had their salaries reduced by 10%. There a number of junior lawyers on my floor who have been asked to ‘work flexibly’ for eg one works a 9 day fortnight and is paid accordingly.

So is the firm asking the junior lawyers, or are the junior lawyers asking the firm? Are the purportedly affected staff entitled to a day off each fortnight, or will they have to come into work on their day off if there is ‘work to do’? Will they receive the 10% if they come in on their day off?

We look forward to further clarifications from both DLA Phillips Fox spies and/or from the firm.
