Bench clock question. I roll off project end of June. I’ve had a long pto trip starting end of July and returning mid September initially assuming I would be rolling off later but client pulled the plug earlier. Given the awkward gap, I am trying my best to backfill a role or find chargeable time but also know it’s not guaranteed. If I hit the bench during that timeframe, charge BD for part of it and then take off on my pto, does my clock essentially pause while I am away on pto?

May want to ask this in the Accenture bowl as I think firms account for PTO differently when it comes to utilization

like

Accenture pto doesn’t count against charge ability

Then have you answered your own question?

It should. PTO shouldn’t count against you.

Long trip sounds awesome where are you headed?

If you're between projects sure, why not

You should be good in terms of charge. But you’ll have to network like crazy when you get back as it will be close to end of fiscal year
