ORRICK — MEMO RE: STAFF WELLNESS STIPENDS

Team: It’s been an extraordinary year…and we’re only just past the half way mark. Yet, through all of the challenges 2020 has brought, there’s been one thing I, our lawyers, and our clients could count on and that’s YOU. You are the best in the business. This year has asked more of all of you than ever before and you came through with grit, dedication, innovation, teamwork and grace.

To express our thanks, we are awarding a wellness stipend to all of our staff of $1,000 (or the equivalent in Europe and Asia). We hope you will use this stipend to take care of yourself and your family. This payment is being made on a tax free basis under the provisions of a U.S. federal tax program. Please read these guidelines which will give you more details about qualifying expenses. If you want to use the stipend for non-qualifying expenses, please let us know.

Payments will be made on August 14 in the US. We hope this mid-year wellness stipend takes some stress off for you. On behalf of all of our lawyers, thank you for your contributions to our team.

Be safe. Be well.  And please take some time to unplug.
