As in prior years, individual bonus amounts will be discretionary, based on performance. Associates will be notified by their Practice Group of their individual bonus payments.
Bonuses will be paid on January 12, 2018 to U.S. Track associates who are actively employed at the firm on that date. For any associate who was on a leave of absence or reduced work schedule in 2017 or who joined the firm after January 1, 2017, his or her bonus will be pro-rated.
If you have any questions about the bonus, please contact Lisa Brill, JD DeSantis or Marcus Franks.
We could not have had the many successes we have had this past year without all of your hard work and extraordinary efforts. On behalf of the partners, we thank you for your outstanding work and dedication to the Firm and our clients.
