One place I was at there were three time sheets to fill in.

I told all parties involved they were getting the same one, and which one did they want?"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Wouldn't you add the accountant as an extra player as well (in terms of paperwork at least)!?Comment

Originally posted by tractor View PostNope. For me and the clients I contract to, project time is accounted for seperately and allocated against projects. YMMV. Clients will approve a specific budget for yourco when agreeing the contract with the agent. IME an expenditure code will be set up and projected costs (usually XXX days at RRR rate) for yourco wil be added to it. Most of my recent clients (10 yrs) have been SAP based and will approve an agent's invoice against that Exp code only with a signed timesheet. Where a timesheet is not signed, it will be managed by exception (Last role I was in, the approver was on holiday when it came to sign time so the agent had to get it approved outside of the process). Clients don't approve invoices piecemeal against individual projects.
Slight aside but I've even had one ClientCo where the 'Line Manager' said ''I can't be arsed with doing that. Here...'' and gave me her login details to approve my own timesheetsPermietractor (probably)Comment
