State employees have been awarded nearly $14 million in bonuses and merit raises this year, more than twice what they received last year.

If you have received a year-end bonus in recent years, chances are that you will get another one this year — a possible sign that there is some semblance of economic recovery in the legal profession.

Traditional employee offerings such as 401k, health insurance and vacation time might not be enough anymore.

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen says he's overjoyed to offer his best employees merit bonuses and raises.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker quietly reinstated a program to give merit raises and bonuses to some state workers even as he preached cost-cutting and pushed through a law reducing most public workers' pay and eliminating their union rights.

Law firms that grant paralegals performance-based bonuses tied to the amount of money the firm wins for its client could be in violation of Wisconsin’s ethical rules for attorneys.
