What is your weekly bill for hours? If you’re billing an average of 45 hrs a week- your utilization doesn’t go below the requirement. I took 5 weeks last year. Had a month of bench time and my utilization is 84%. You can manage it right and still take time off. 🤷🏻♀️
Not sure how it works for you. My projects are typically a year. So staffit has an end date (e.g July 2019). I’m planning a two week vacation in September and again in November. I’m putting it on the books now. In case I’m extended or placed on another project, these are already locked in pto dates.
I’ve used this approach the last 3 years- no problem. I’ve even been extended and the client knows I’ll be gone for a period of time.
Guess all I’m saying. You earn it, use it. Otherwise you’re just giving money back to the company every hour not spent
Use bench time and minimal PTO your first year at the firm to “build up a balance” and then each year use what you have rolled over from the year before. This will leave you will plenty of hours to get paid out when you leave ;)
