Anything in the 95-99% range is exactly the same so take your PTO. I think you'd only truly stand out if you're at 110+

Maybe see if you can take a vacation in the new PY but bill the PTO in the current one... then when you're on your vacation you can bill the client and get that utilization in the new PY. Highly sketchy and I would only ask if you have a cool manager but someone let me do that one year when I had some PTO that was going to expire.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Actually come to think of it this also happened last year with my project as well. Not with PTO but they told me I could bill a PRD code the last two weeks of the PY and move those hours into into the new PY. Maybe I just work with people who got my back.

I did sign a contract with the agency and in the freelance handbook it states out that within certain period of time any future projects from the same client needs to go through with the agency. But I don’t want them to take half of my pay check. Help!
