How much does utilization factor into year end performance reviews for a BA? If I'm trying to qualify for GSAP is using my PTO even really an option?

Meet your minimum. I've seen people negatively regarded for having too high utilization

PTO doesn't impact your utilization. Only hours you actually bill. Standard hours are always 2080.

What exactly is utilization factor?

Just meet the minimum threshold and anything over doesn't really matter.
I think it's 90 or 95% for BTAs but IDK about BAs

@d1 which by definition means that it does impact your utilization, as those are hours that you aren't billing

D1, PTO absolutely does impact your utilization because you are not billing hours while you are on PTO.

For BAs, anywhere from 100-115 you're golden. 95 you're fine. 90-95 questionable. Above 115 you're working too much. Below 90 you likely aren't measuring up.

^ adjust PTO accordingly to make sure you're at least in the right range.

PTO does impact your utilization, also don't go beyond 100 as that is not considered good anymore...it shows either you do not know how to manage your work or you are eating more than you can chew...

You kids need to learn some basic math. This common core shit is killing us.

@D8 that is true and I was told that at my ford year 118% utilization.

It's BS though because as an analyst you pretty much have to work as much as your manager asks you to

Fuck I can't type

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

I don’t understand how people keep posting about the bench and being unassigned. I’m in advisory(not audit) and my entire LoS is trending 90%+ utilization

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
