[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bill time traveled. If I go to a meeting in another state and it's a plane or a long car ride and I get done in one day I may not bill more than one day. I'm a govt contractor. We have govt agency people working with us. They bill every last hour and get comp time etc. they don't travel on Sundays so that's always fun. I do travel on Sundays though. [/quote]

It may vary by agency, but my agency asks us not to travel on weekends unless it's absolutely necessary because they owe us comp time outside of normal hours. I have traveled on Sunday, but only when necessary, because I follow the policy. I also put in for comp time when I do, because it is required - you have to list the day and time of the travel start and finish. So, it is basically unavoidable because the timesheet system recognizes your normal tour of duty. So, don't be too hasty judging, given there are different rules for Feds vs. contractors. It's not milking the system - it's complying with the system.[/quote]

Oh I get it, the people I with are great and they are annoyed at the rules too sometimes. But it means that all the contractors have to work around that schedule and not have Monday morning meetings and test events since govt can't travel to them. It is what it is. We do that same thing of recording start and end of travel at my company. [/quote]
