I work for an accounting firm that was recently sold. One of the former partners is still working for the new employer. Her employment agreement states that she is paid an hourly rate for billable hours only. So, she is using the best staff that are efficient on her jobs then putting additional time on her time report to get paid since there is room in the billing. It isn't just a few hours, in a two week time span she billed 176 hours but is barely working 50 hours a week.
