I worked for several large consulting companies plus a little bit of freelance. None of them ever gave me a straight answer to what counts as a working hour. Even basic questions like does the clock start when I leave for the airport or when I get to the customer site? Or do I get a paid lunch? What about internal meetings regarding the customer?
I eventually adopted a 40 hrs/week policy where that's what I put on my timesheet regardless of how much I actually worked. Which is what I think most people settled on.
