Date: October 25th, 2016 12:47 PM Author: marvelous selfie windowlicker Start by discussing "gray areas" of billing and how the associate should resolve these gray areas in favor of billing more. The classic example of this is rounding up. Once the associate acknowledges the propriety of this, move on to double billing during travel. When you are confident the associate is on board with this, introduce the concept of "billing the product" when you reuse work product from other cases.
