How flexible is your company when it comes to hours?
There is a set time window we can work in (give or take a few hours)
Graduate, Sydney
When there's deadlines staying back, starting early or work over weekends is somewhat expected (as expected in all law jobs) but not regularly. Normal hours are 8:30am to 5:00pm.

On an average day, I get into work at approximately 7:45-8:00am and leave just after 5pm. My team is very flexible with hours - I prefer coming in 30-45 mins earlier, allowing me to leave earlier, and my team is more than happy for me to do so.
Graduate, Sydney
Very good. Dont have to do overtime often at all. Sometimes I do a bit of overtime but it is never expected of you. If people see you in the office close to 6pm, they ask you to go home.
Graduate, Melbourne
I usually work 8-5.00pm, haven't stayed much late than 6pm.

Very flexible, no requirement for in office time
Graduate, Melbourne
I generally work three days in the office and two from home. My company is very flexible with hours although I do feel the practice area I am in now have a higher expectation of attendance than the section I used to work in. I am happy with 2-3 days in office. If I need time off for an appointment or trade coming to house or something, it is not an issue to take that time.
Graduate, Brisbane
I work 9 - 5:30, and the firm is very good about working from home.
Graduate, Melbourne
Usual start time is 8.30am and the day ends around 5.30-6pm depending on what is required at the time
Graduate, Sydney
Some areas are little more busy than area so it is a given sometimes you may have to stay back to get things done. Generally, the hours are quite good. There is also flexibility around working from home which really helps.
Graduate, Perth
I generally work from 8:30 - 5:30 each day. Sometimes these hours will be longer, but it is often consistent.
Graduate, Melbourne
The company is flexible with work from home/ in office time. The onus is on us as employees to determine where and how best to spend our days. I love the flexibility that is offered.
Graduate, Melbourne
I'm happy with my hours. Hours are normal, the company is not hugely flexible but this is because clients are not flexible
Graduate, Melbourne
I am in a transactional practice. I generally work from 9am to 6pm.
Graduate, Sydney
My usual hours are from about 8:00 am to about 5:30/5:45 pm.
Graduate, Perth
At the moment, my partner is being very flexible with my hours as I have a commute into work so need to leave at a certain time to get the train. I am also not busy enough to require later hours all week so he doesn't enforce that when not necessary.
Graduate, Newcastle
Hours are up and down. This is really team dependent. Some weeks you might be very busy and have to work late, other weeks you will be finishing on time and have a very manageable workload. This is partially up to you and how much work you accept, however, there is always an expectation that graduates will accept work, particularly from more senior members of the team. In terms of working late, I have only had to do it a handful of times for very busy and urgent tasks. Most of the time I am able to finish at around 5.30. One positive I note, is that if you ever do have to work late, team members will often ask if you are OK and if you are managing your workload, it's nice to be supported in this way.
Graduate, Melbourne
usually 830-5

I have never been asked to stay behind and do overtime even on days where I had a lot of deadlines to meet.
Graduate, Melbourne
I am the kind of person who likes working in the office. When I do, I go home on time most days. We are given what I would say are very manageable hour targets and as long as we meet these we are able to manage our own hours.
