Depends on your package.  Do you work a 40 hour week?  Are you an 
employee or a contractor?  If you're an employee, assuming you don't go 
over your allotted PTO (paid time off), your method is probably 
reasonably safe...

If you're a contractor, you can't make the same assumption - you don't 
get any compensation for time you're not on the job...

FYI - if you're going in the other direction, one usually takes the 
yearly, and divides by 1900, 1860 or 1820 (hours), depending on whether 
you get 2, 3 or 4 weeks of vacation...
