Correct way to record time? I travel for my engagements but it seems if you’re traveling, it counts against your total billable time. I just think that’s weird. Am I doing this right?

Unless you’re sitting on your sofa watching tv you’re working. Billable or not record it!

Work on the flight. We have a non-billable code for travel that they take into account

I used to think that too but it doesn't. Make sure you log travel / excess travel time as they count towards your hours over standard, if that's counted at your firm.

There should be a way to record travel time separately. But I generally work on flights so most of my travel time is billable anyway

How about if you are driving for 4 hours one way 🙄🙄🙄

Wait p1 we count that?

If you’re working on the flight then that’s billable.

@EY2 I will not believe that you are working AND driving during those 4 hours. But I was told those hours actually count against your utilization
