I would try to limit bench time to 3-4 weeks

Depends on how much bench time we are talking about. 1-2 weeks, take the bench time and save the pto. 4-6 weeks, you might think about using some pto

Use pto, After you reach the 4-6week mark ? @A1

How about charging the training wbs for actual training during the bench. Will you still be docked?

Yep, training does not count as chargeable time

If you've been at Accenture for less than one year, you're safe from the aged bench time. If you've been here over a year then utilize your PTO and good luck!

Not true, Penta. I was here for 6 months and was about to get cut after 5 weeks on the bench.
