How many hours actual work would you do if you were in the office? Hint - it won't be 8.5 hours. If you spend 50% of your time on task A, 50% on task B, then it's 4 hours on each.
You have to factor in "thinking time", coffee breaks, admin... I don't record anything in less that 2 hour chunks.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

It's not naiive and you do right to question it in your situation. The client won't be happy at all if it comes under scrutiny so I'd be looking to some how up the hours. Doesn't have to be 8 on the dot but more than half a days work for sure.
My original question was badly articulated - my bad.Comment

I'll decrease the resolution of the time chunks into extents of around 1 - 2 hours. Good call.Comment

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostThis was actually a requirement in a company I was perm at back in the late '90's.

It was phased out after a while and the skivers were much upset.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
