Actual for promotion. Adjusted for VC

^ take any absolute answer with a grain of salt. I was under goal last year as an S1 by over 100 hours and received $6,500 in VC on a $76,000 base (8.5%). Do good work and you will get rewarded.

Can You explain adjusted utilization vs a actual utilization? I’m a S1 waiting about to get first year of AIP and I only know of charge hour goals as utilization.

I believe it is a tax thing in KPMG. In audit we do not have different types of util either D1.

Adjusted backs out PTO, training and NAP projects

@Deloitte it's only for KPMG tax. @OP Your impact score determines a portion of your VC up to 4%, the higher the impact score the higher the VC. There's a qualitative portion of VC as well based on general performance. The regular utilization score does not directly effect your VC as a metric but can be looked at when comparing you with your peer group.

As an FYI, adjusted utilization is not for tax. It’s a performance metric for staff.
