A&O introduces partner flexi-time to improve female retention

Unfortunately the article does not explain the policy properly leading some misunderstanding in the comments. My understanding is that female partners will have the option of working 80% of normal working hours (either 4/5 days or with increased holiday) and will receive 80% of normal equity points, subject to a maximum overall cap of 30 equity points in total. In other words, if you are to progress through the ladder beyond 30 points then you need to return to full time work. If this is correct then the "best" approach would seem to be to have the kids as soon as you get made up so they are at school by the time you want to return to work full time!
