Do you bill for travel time? For example, if I have to drive three hours away to get to where I need to be for a client, would that be considered billable time?

Depends on the client engagement agreement, but as an associate, if you haven’t been told otherwise, you should bill it.

Yes

You do. If the partner chooses to write it off, they can do so at a later time.

Discuss with the client, but yes.

Typically yes, but doesn't hurt to make sure.

You should confirm with the partner, but almost certainly yes.

Yes. All travel gets billed. Usually separate time entries. 1. Office to airport and miles traveled. 2. Time entering airport to time leaving the airport. 3. Time from airport to hotel or office. Many clients pay a reduced rate, or partner will write off….but LOG THE HOURS.

Would the answer be yes if you were in Florida and the client insisted that you be at an upcoming hearing and offered to pay for your airfare? Do all the travel hours get billed?

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
