Yeah that is definitely against policy. It is probably difficult to get caught. I guess the question is are the extra PTO hours worth losing your integrity
That is so sketchy
It’s like the bench I guess. Non chargeable code. Seems sketch
Yea it feels sketchy, wasn’t sure if it’s common for folks staffed longterm
That’s a sweet option. BAH just makes us take PTO
Yeah I haven’t had a non-billable hour since orientation. Would love to take some “self study” days so I don’t have to stay up late every night to get my school work done. 🤦♂️
Oh I thought you meant after the project has ended. I would think billing self study in the middle of a project would raise a red flag. Doesn't really make sense
If you do self-study, you better get CPE credits for it
Pwc2 doesn’t know what they’re talking about. If you bill 40 hours in a week to a client, your util is 100%. If you also bill hours to non chargeable code, your util remains 100%.
What even is self study?
OK so like general admin for us. My personal feeling is who gives a shit, we’re all salaried anyway, as long as you’re reachable.
Yea that’s the thing, I won’t be. And neither is he when he does it. So we’ll see. Maybe I’ll just bill all to pto
I guess my point is people bill something OTHER than pto while they’re on vacation. Does anyone have experience with this, is this common?
Or your job, is my question. I just don’t have that much pto as just starting out, so was curious to see if this was plausible. Hearing it happens a lot when people take time off mid project.
Hmm okay, guess I’ll burn 40 pto
It’s f***ed up 🤦🏽♂️
Booz 1: we can take "unworked day" for weeks where we exceed 40 hours and don't have any work left. You should not take PTO.
If you're already billing more than 40 hours, you don't have to bill any code for that time off. Hitting the non charge code distorts your utilization computation. If you're not working, you're not working. You're only required to record the greater of 40 hrs/wk or hours worked.
That's against policy. You can flex a couple days in the week if you've hit 40 hours (i.e. You worked 10 hour billable days Monday thru Thursday). But if you are taking a wed, thurs and Friday off, you should be billing 24 hours to vacation time. As someone mentioned, not sure how you'd get caught, but if you did, you could lose your job. If you don't have vacation accrued yet, you can also use your 2 floating holidays now instead of at Christmas break (instead of vacation).
Okay thanks all. Ill burn just pto. Sounded sketchy to begin with, so I’ll continue down the path of just pto. Thanks for the clarifications.
