Timesheets - your best mate!!!!

For permanent staff moving into contracting timesheets may seem like real pain in the neck - well they may be, but.....without them you don't get paid!

There are different forms of timesheets:

• paper hard copy printed timesheets
• soft copies in Word or Excel
• on-line timesheets
• e-mail timesheets

whichever timesheet system your agency uses - that is your key to the cash!

So what is it about timesheets? Why are they so important?

Without an authorised timesheet your agency has no idea what hour you work and there does not know:

• how much to pay you
• what to invoice the client

All agencies run very tight cashflow models which mean that if timesheets are late - so is everything else - invoicing, salary, everything!

So if you want to be paid on time - always remember to get your timesheets in early - fully completed, authorised and signed.
