If you spend more time than expected training and teaching staff, do you bill that time to the client code or do you use a different billing code? I’m a newly promoted senior and I am currently working with a staff who constantly has to revise work because it’s done incorrectly and I find that I’m spending a considerable portion of my day teaching and going over work which I am more than happy to do. I don’t want to blow the budget, so I was thinking of charging the teaching time to admin.

Definitely charge to client if the time spent coaching is related to the engagement

Budgets, like the pirate code, are more what you call guidelines.

A very wise gentleman at the firm said, “Don’t make billing decisions on your timesheet. Put it n there as billable with an internal note that is very descriptive. The billing partner can make the decision of whether to pass this expense on to the client.”

like

Charge to client because staffing is part of project management. If someone isn’t pulling their weight, that should be reflected in the budget as extra hours (in this case, that you spend reviewing). Then the team has a decision to make: either allocate more hours because needs were underestimated, or search for a better associate when possible.
Sounds harsh, but it’s true

There should be a training/supervision code you can ding. Just make sure your manager is aware of it. We don’t like surprises at the end of the month during billing.

would be great to have a training code - literally 1/2 my time is spent training. But that is the nature of or work.
