What are employee benefits for lawyer?

I have to do a research paper on lawyers and I need to know the employee benefits of having that job, such as health care, personal leaves etc.... but I can't find it anywhere, instead is says find lawyers to fight for YOUR employee benefits. I would really appreciate links to something saying that, I am not trying to cheat or get answers off of people, I just want to know if anyone knows any websites to help me with this. I really can't take answers from people anyway, since this needs to be cited. Thanks in Advance!!!

Each firm has different benefits, but from what I can gather (at least in Southern California), 2 weeks vacation and 2 weeks sick leave seems to be the standard for a beginning attorney...also 8 holidays are usually "paid for"

Health benefits (premiums) are paid for the employee only and the employee would have to pay to have his/her family covered (always a good idea to get group coverage, that way you can't be dropped).

Short term/long term disability can be purchased through the firm's benefits department (not included)...

There are billable hours so even though one has "vacation" and "sick" time, the hours have to be made up to reach the billable hour requirement...

Most lawyers are self-employed. Therefore, they receive no 'employee benefits'. They would pay for health care, time off, dental insurance, retirement, etc. out of their net profits (their income) from their business/law practice.

The ABA (American Bar Association) has information that may help you. The link here may get you started, but I would guess that you can find some answers here.

However, each firm is different. Some bigger firms do offer benefits. Other firms don't, but that is true of just about any type of business.

Erika, that's a question that can't be answered. There isn't any standard set of benefits - would depend on what law firm or other company the lawyer is working for, since each sets its own set of benefits.

That said, pretty much all professional jobs give paid vacation, paid sick time, and health insurance.
