I am an analyst and I just about always work overtime. I know that legally, Accenture is obligated to pay me for overtime, but the culture around it makes me scared to actually charge it in.

Yes, you should be charging overtime, but make sure your supervisor is aware you're going to charge it in as your hours affect the project numbers. Also make sure you're being realistic about your actual billable hours. 12 hours on site does not mean you actually worked 12 hours. Coffee breaks do not provide value to your client.

OP - you are eligible for OT but it's on case by case basis. So ACN is not obligated to pay you on hourly basis on every project.

Deloitters... only new analysts in specific workforces get OT. Calm down.

Any advice on how and when to bring this up?

Good luck lol I was in the same situation for my first project and my manager told me straight up, "i know what you heard but we only bill 40 no matter what"

Just talk to your manager. It really depends on the project. My last project just said to limit overtime to 15%. And to Deloitte, you literally only get overtime for basically a year until you hit senior analyst, then you become salaried. I did work on a project that didn't limit overtime and encouraged people to charge actual time and know a girl that made an extra 20k. Was definitely jealous of that as i started before the overtime rule was in place.

Like A1, if you are going to charge OT, I think a compromise would be to only charge working hours. If it's like 45 hrs a week, just bring it up. Otherwise, doc how long each of your tasks take (round to nearest 2 hrs) and bring up to your manager

be careful, when analysts on our team asked for OT it really skewed the SMs perspective. Instead of billing OT- they were sent home and also not given major deliverables, since the SM didn't think they'd be willing to put extra time into it for the client. it's a double edged sword.
