You know people who eat hours and complain? Those are the same people who bill 8 hrs "working from home" netflixing. Work smart (I.e. Be good at your job), have boundaries (i.e. Respect yourself), and scope / communicate well and you can be honest and have a work life balance.
Of course always charge 8 hours minimum, no matter if you actually work or not. In the long run your ethics dont matter your util does. Plus your company will charge the client for 8 hours either way (fixed budget)
Of course. I just include House work and social time at work as well.
Did you work more than 8 hours a day during the week?
It's like being on call. You're being paid to be ready in case there is work to do
I don't understand. I haven't been in the situation where "all my work is done" since junior high. Down time is always a conscious choice.
Bill what you work.
Ethics much?
D2. I'm pretty sure those are not the same people.
I charge a straight 8hrs/day regardless...the charge code may vary...but I keep number of hours per day at 8 because lets face it..."charge the hours you work" is total bull
OP be politely assertive with the manager and ask how you can be helpful. Do the same with other team members. Be a squeaky wheel; be hungry. In the meantime, during down time, read up on your client or on the subject matter of the engagement. Bill only what you work. Good luck!
Are you serious?
Obviously
I'm quite sure you worked more than the 40 hours/week you charged so it's ok to distribute them equally by day. You're not an hourly employee anyway ;)
Make your life easy and just charge whatever your scheduled for unless you're logging a ton of additional hours (over 12 hour days M-Th)
Absofuckinglutely lol
As someone who's run engagement economics, billing and all that bullshit. Please for Christ sake bill what the sow says you are going to work. It makes lives so much easier.
Lol
There's endless amounts of work. Not sure how one does not have enough work.
If you bill under 40 your engagement leadership is usually notified because it is hitting your utilization and they can find something for you full time. You'll eat a lot more hours than you inflate, feeling bad is for the weak
