Does sick day factor into effective utilization?

I sometimes find it odd how misunderstood utilization is. Yes, sick days factor into effective utilization. They positively affect it as the denominator in the calculation is reduced by the sick hours taken. For example, I was sick two days last week and charged 24 hours. My effective utilization for the week was 100% (24/24). My full utilization was 60% (24/40).

EY5 must be office to office. I’ve never been involved in a conversation where full utilization was the metric used. IMO Effective is a much more appropriate measure of productivity give that it accounts for sick days, etc.

like

Yes. Any time you’re not chargeable negatively affects utilization

No

Agree with EY3. Black and purple are “good” and green is “bad” for utilization

Effective utilization is really a throw away measurement - I have never been involved in a conversation where full wasn’t the metric used.

Thanks!

My school deliberately cut the number of classes that the specials teachers teach so that we could be building subs for quarantined and sick teachers (we are hybrid). So... I teach fewer classes (which is a relief because specials teachers teach way more classes than core teachers normally) but I'm pulled for most of my planning periods to babysit classes. I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space.

I am currently a medical biller and coder that just graduated. I am currently in an entry level position because I am still studying to get certified. I will have a year's work of exp in July and will sign a contract for another year because my boss is training me in more I don't know.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?
