if I bill 13 hours working from home, can I still claim a free meal? I've literally done 32 hours in 3 days while working remote. making all this money for EY and wondering if I can get any perk?

The over time meal policy says the meal has to be consumed onsite I.e. At the client / office where you are presumably being forced to stay and work. So unfortunately, probably not.

The irony - policies like that are in place to allow you to get dinner when you work so late that you can't get home for food...

You don’t get a free meal to work from home OP. This policy is in place when you are traveling and cannot enjoy cost savings of a home cooked meal. Being st home defeats the entire argument. All our firms take good care of us though we sometimes tend to forget - please don’t take disadvantage of a policy.

Well I believe it also says engagement approval, and so could be worth asking the partner. Then when you submit the expense you can put their approval and gte doesn't know any better where you actually stuffed chipotle down your face

Ask engagement manager for approval. Always exceptions and if there is budget why not...

Nope

I did it a few times cuz i didnt have time to cook anything cuz i was so busy

The perk is working from home.
