If you are Mon-thurs at client site but have only 1-2 hours of work a day (very slow period) but still on-site 8am-6pm every day (expectations)... how many hours would you enter. Be honest

Minimum of 45. If you're there and available. That's billable time.

8.....the client paid for 8...whether it took me 16 hrs or 2 to complete

We aren't allowed to bill more than 45 even if we work 80, so why would I bill less than 45 if I work 20? These types of weeks make up for the over worked ones.

For us, 44/wk is fully staffed... So that. Imagine every firm is different though.

I agree with the there and available line. If I didn't have the work, I'd be in at 9 and out at 5 and bill 40. If I'm required 8-6 I'm billing 50.

We have to bill 45 regardless of the amount of work. They make you be there 8-6. So bill 8-6. When I'm onsite with my client, I don't usually work a lot so I sit there and waste time. But they want me there so I bill it.

8.5

Straight 45. And when I'm on a project where I'm in the office 8a-1a three nights a week working my ass off I will also bill 45.

Dad had to get emergency open heart surgery over the weekend. Now me and my family are preparing to help him recover and determine what those next steps are.

While all that is happening, we’re working on a huge initiative at the agency and our client has been super anxious about it. That anxiety is coming down stream so I’m trying to do my best as the PM to alleviate the team’s concerns.

And today, I found out I got a raise.

It’s too much going on the last few days.
