Does booking hours to the Excess travel code for time spent flying to the client hurt your utilization?

No it doesn’t hurt utilization but it does not improve it. It does increase your OT hours which is an important metric. It is only meant for travel outside normal business hours. Any travel to or between clients during business hours should be charged to the appropriate clients.

like

Standard utilization (ignoring firm holidays) is calculated off external hours within a 40hr workweek.

As long as you’re hitting 40h of client time in a standard week, excess travel hours would be picked up as “hours over standard” (overtime hours worked) but wouldn’t lower your utilization .

If you’re traveling during core business hours, I’d charge the time to the client to make sure you’re keeping up utilization.

like

Any code that starts with an 8 is a non-client code that hurts your utilization. Believe travel time falls into this category

Hi All,

I have a situation in front of me. I got an offer from small company or we could say startup company Uzio (pdt based) and my manager in current company didn't revert back with any retaining offer. It's been a month and 27 days left in np.
My dilemma is that my current team including reporting manager are very rude and not supportive. I don't want to work in this project. But if I join in that startup company, there's a risk as everyone is talking about recession, firing. Suggestions?
