Freelancers, how often are you told you over billed (and you actually worked those hours) and need to move time around to other jobs? What should you do ?

I've never had a problem dealing with overbilling. If it happens, you just sprinkle small amounts to other jobs. Or you can also ask your manager to provide you with job numbers you can use. If you were on the clock, you always bill.

they under scoped or it took longer for you than they thought it should - you are still getting paid so why do you care that you have to move it to other jobs? Or are you more concerned about them saying that you overbilled ?

Do it. But save that email for the day you might need it

Are you an independent contractor or working as a temporary employee? If you’re freelancing as the later your responsibility is to report time accurately. The account team can worry about moving time around if needed.

As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
