You get 120 hours of PTO that will not affect your YE utilization numbers. You want to pay attention to the adjusted utilization, that is the actual metric that will matter

This is not all of Deloitte, only consulting has this PTO relief benefit.

The annual billable hrs used for your utilization target already factors in time for pto/training. Utilization will drop momentarily because the demoninator increases with no change to the numberator…basic math. Leverage the utilization tracker and build in your anticipated pto, it’ll give you average #hrs you should be working a week to still hit util based on how much pto you want to take.

like

It does in the sense that the numerator for utilization is client service hours, so by taking PTO, you’re not getting in hours. As far as utilization goes, PTO, admin work, or just not billing anything is all treated the same.

can we bill a client for your pto hours? there’s your answer.

like

Pto is not a factor in utilization and so therefore no it does not lower your utilization but some people will say it lowers it because you’re not increasing your client service hours over a period but the same can be said for GAA, PRD or CPE - it’s perspective

But no it does not lower your utilization

PTO taken in May doesn’t impact the current fiscal year utilization. It will impact next year. Performance year runs on a different fiscal calendar.

Actually impacts fiscal year which ends 5/31 but will be a new performance year PY24.

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance
