Would you take a pay cut to permanently work from home?
Stephenson Harwood told the BBC that it had recruited some remote workers from outside London during the pandemic, on a lower pay package, reflecting the lower cost of not commuting into the capital.The firm is now extending the remote working option to existing staff, but also applying the salary difference between the two packages, the firm said.
The choice of full-time remote working is available to all employees but not to partners in the firm. Stephenson Harwood said it didn't expect many people to take up the offer to work remotely full-time. A newly qualified lawyer, for example, starts on a salary of £90,000, at the law firm. But the chance of them choosing to take £72,000 instead to work from home were "very slim" as their role required experience of the office environment, he said.Stephenson Harwood have decided staff who do not travel into London regularly will be paid less
The spokesman said the firm's current policy, where people can choose to work from home for up to two days a week, suited many of its 1,100 employees across offices in London, Paris, Greece, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea.
