Pacific Timesheet Announces New SaaS Cloud Crew Timesheet Pricing for Construction and Field Services Customers

2012-01-15T08:40:00.000-08:00

Pacific Timesheet has announced that on January 1, 2012 new SaaS Cloud Crew Timesheet pricing will be available to allow customers the option of paying for services using a variety of license options, including offline, supervisor, timekeeping licenses, time off request and timesheet signature licenses.

With this pricing schedule, only those users with direct access to the system will need to be licensed. However, if customers need field employees or other offline employees to verify and digitally “sign” their timesheets, or make time off requests for time off scheduling, these can be added with discounted licenses.

Jim Dickerson VP of Operations explains, "After testing this new pricing approach with key customer accounts, we have decided to make this pricing option generally available to all our construction and field services customers." Dickerson continued, "The advantage of this pricing is that we allow customers to pay for a variety of licenses based upon access and use rather than just headcount. This will result in significant savings for our customers."

Pacific Timesheet has held a leadership position in the web-based construction and field services time tracking market by providing crew timesheets for employee and equipment. In addition, the Company will be adding a variety of materials and activity-based tracking for crews during Q1 2012.

Pacific Timesheet Announces Enhanced Time Off and Absence Management Validation Features

2011-10-26T11:12:00.000-07:00

Las Vegas, NV — October 24, 2011 — Pacific Timesheet has announced enhanced support for its Time Off and Absence Management systems, extending its robust time off balance validation rules to prevent so-called “backdoor” time off requests and approvals.

Jim Dickerson VP of Operations explains, "A common problem in organizations with many exempt or salaried employees is a lack of employee compliance requesting time off in a timely basis." Dickerson continued, "In some cases, employees are submitting time off requests long after the fact creating significant request and time off balance validation challenges."

Pacific Timesheet now revalidates all past time off and scheduled future time off requests, essentially invalidating already approved requests when past balances are updated. "One of the issues of many organizations is time off balances get out of sync with reality almost making them irrelevant to employees and supervisors," Dickerson stated. He continued, "Bullet-proof forward validation rules change employee and supervisor behavior significantly over time." In this way, employees’ future requests are put into jeopardy by not properly requesting and submitting past time off taken. As Dickerson points out, "What employee wants to jeopardize invalidating this year’s Christmas vacation by not properly accounting for time off during the summer?" Dickerson continued, "Manual time off tracking systems are easy to game and these bad employee behaviors will continue persist. Pacific Timesheet will end these kinds of behaviors in one time off cycle."

Additional enhancements added in the last year to Pacific Timesheet Time Off and Absence management have significantly improved supervisor approvals of time off requests. One feature in particular now allows email late notices for time off request approvals to be sent every one or two days until the request is approved. The combination of these features has improved employee compliance with company time off and absence management policies and procedures dramatically.

R&D Engineering Percent Time Allocation Timesheets and The Failed Experiment of “The Data Hat”

2011-10-17T09:31:00.000-07:00

As a visiting scholar at Pacific Timesheet, I recently completed a research study: “Whacky Technology Ideas That Cannot Even Be Called Silly.” Though it was not my intention, it has become a tribute to how great Steve Jobs really was, by surveying the thousands of bad ideas and new product road kill created by other lesser brains during the Age of Steve (1979 – 2011). The study included a way to watch TV with an inhaler (don’t ask), a new kind of ethanol you could manufacture from old bed sheets, and force-field furniture for people who move a lot and have no friends. However, my favorite example of a failed technology product was “The Data Hat.”

The Data Hat

The Data Hat was developed in Silicon Valley, where “prima donna engineers,” as they are called, outnumber all living things by 100:1. The product’s history began in 2002 when the senior managers of BBS LLC (Big Biolife Stuff) and RTC, Inc. (Really Tiny Chips) got stuck in an elevator in the San Jose Convention Center during the rolling blackout season. After arguing why no one thought to take the stairs when there were only two floors, they began “sharing” about their biggest business problems. Jim Parker, RTC CTO, said “I wish we knew what our best engineers were working on.” Joshua Chen, Chief Information Officer of BBS, finally admitted that “many of our engineers won’t reveal much beyond their employee ID number, like they’re a POW or something.” Staring blankly into the elevator floor buttons panel, Jim Parker interjected: “If only we could get them to fill out timesheets.” Everyone was aghast. The smallest smile started to curl at the corner of Jim’s mouth and Joshua said with a growing laugh, “You joker, you know that’ll never happen.” They laughed for an hour. All of this led to nothing for these companies, but there was a courier in the elevator car who, overhearing everything, told his neuro-engineer cousin Billy Tendra of the need to solve this problem. Tendra worked night and day and came up with “The Data Hat,” a new way to capture data from a person's brain. They would wear the "data hat" while they thought of the data they wanted to upload to the hat’s database. In effect it turned a person’s brain into a kind of keyboard. Tendra first tested the device, which looked like the little sailor hat worn by Mick Jagger briefly during the late 1980’s, with a pilot group of prima donna engineers at ten major semiconductor and biotech life science firms. These prima donnas qualified for the pilot if no one ever knew what they did at work, but yet they kept their jobs anyway. The test was simple. An engineer would place The Data Hat on his head at the end of the week when he wanted to record his time allocation by job or project. He would think about what he did and for how long and the hat would capture the data and upload it to a server on the network. At first, the hats (with an initial price point of $105,000 USD each) were defined as a shared resource similar to the early days of the mainframe time-sharing model. This caused several problems. Having only ten hats shared by 400 engineers in 25 locations led to high courier costs which within only five months more than offset the cost savings of having so few hats. If this continued, a corporate accountant argued in the cafeteria one day, the courier costs would soon be in excess of $12 million. The hats also required radioactive sterilization services because dry cleaning would damage the brim, which was a WIFI antenna, after only three cleanings. There were two classes of engineers, the OCDs , who washed their hair twice a day, and the LICEDs who had not washed their hair since Full House went off the air. The germiphobic OCDs demanded sterilization after each use and the generally left-leaning LICEDs would not put on a radiated hat. Sterilization costs zoomed. Within a month, the outcome was the same; prima donna engineers not providing information on how they were spending their time. Beside the out-of-control costs, there were operational problems. The hats unintentionally would capture so-called “negative or outlier thoughts” that were forbidden in the TDH Project Time Tracking Manual. Though many hours of required training urged the engineers to control their thoughts when wearing the hat, their timesheets became strewn with profanities, song lyrics, and sometimes complicated food recipes. On the day 1,500 employees were laid off at one company, an “18 dirty words and phrases” filter had to be configured so the payroll department would continue processing timesheets. Worse, a so-called “ghost” data effect meant that the thoughts captured from one engineer might linger in the hat and download by mistake into the mind of the next engineer. This led to engineers inadvertently using each other’s passwords, speaking in languages they did not know, and increase the already high number of them wandering around the courtyards aimlessly muttering to themselves. Finally, in 2004 “The Data Hat” project was killed, no refunds were made and the founder Tendra went into the mortgage financing business. In 2007, I ran into Tendra at a Whole Foods in San Jose. He said he just left the mortgage business and was now working full time for the Mitt Romney for President campaign. He said The Data Hat lawsuits were still dogging him, but that he was glad to see me. He knew that I was now a visiting scholar with Pacific Timesheet and had learned, all too late, that Pacific Timesheet had a web-based R & D engineering time tracking solution that allowed engineers to record their percent time allocation by project and/or phase in about 15 seconds using a web timesheet. I asked him why he was still wearing a Data Hat while shopping. He said the upload feature was buggy but that he could download grocery lists into his mind easily. I asked if I could try it on for old time’s sake. I did and a flood of his thoughts entered into my mind. Apparently, he had reviewed the feature lists of the Pacific Timesheet web site that morning. I could see the most relevant features highlighted in his mind: percent time entry, multiple billing rate options, multiple approvals, multiple timesheet templates, published APIs and import/export utilities, hundreds of locales and multiple holiday schedules worldwide, excellent client testimonials and easy-to-use web site navigation. He asked me not to blog about anything he discussed because that would be crass commercialism and be unfairly promoting Pacific Timesheet in a scholarly blog post. I agreed that I would not do that.

The Declaration of Time Tracking Independence, by Thomas Jefferson Timetrackington, Jr.

2011-10-04T09:44:00.001-07:00

Back in 1776, with no junk mail, law firms, investment bankers, or computer viruses, life was simpler, probably better. But, as my great great great great grand uncle Thomas wrote, "when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a company to dissolve the bands connecting it with its payroll services provider..." it caused quite a stir at GBP (the Great Britain Payroll company). This of course was from an earlier draft of the Declaration and was deleted by Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton, as a Federalist, had a secret plan to create the Universal Payroll Company which would later buyout GBP. In a letter to Hamilton, Jefferson wrote that "such a plan to consolidate all payrolls in the universe, even on planets yet undiscovered, was the antithesis of individual freedom and the right to life, liberty and the ability to change payrolls every five years if increasingly depraved service or inflated remuneration requires it." I discovered Declaration drafts last week in my mother's basement the day of her funeral. After a huge argument with my cousin Bennie (Benedict Arnold Chinsington) who wanted to sell them on Ebay, I decided to rededicate my life to time tracking independence by starting the Payroll Time Tracking Institute. The first project of the Institute would be to put these drafts on display in a National Declaration of Time Tracking Independence archive in Iowa City, Iowa. I approached all the major payroll companies to raise money for the institute, calling extra times to those with P's in their names. After leaving 987 unreturned voice mails, a lobbyist called me at lunch to say that the 400 odd payroll companies he represented in Washington DC voted to buy me a one-way plane ticket to Columbia. He also said that their institute funding budgets were already committed to the Institute For The Advanced Study of Raising Payroll Switching Costs. While I understand that the changing colors of hemp plants are beatiful this time of year in Bogata, I told him that I would soldier on and make my great great great great grand uncle Thomas proud by continuing the fight for time tracking independence, pledging my life, limited fortune and sacred hilton honored guest points. I of course explained that payroll companies, while very good (sometimes) in their core business of processing payrolls, their only interest in automated timesheets and time tracking is to enslave customers not free them. At that point he said he was late for an appointment to get his loafers shined. Of course he warned that if I blogged about any of this he would deny we ever spoke, and made a point that I not mention that I was a visiting scholar at Pacific Timesheet. I assured him that I would not mention Pacific Timesheet's name or refer at all to Pacific Timesheet's leading payroll time tracking software and SaaS solutions, or that Pacific Timesheet integrates with more than 300 payrolls worldwide, because that would be crass commercialism at its worst.

Automating Crew Timesheets: Pre-populating Key Employee Timesheet Data

2011-09-06T16:37:00.000-07:00

Previously we discussed how data entry must be made easier when automating crew timesheets. Manual crew timesheets are cumbersome at best. They must be set up by hand, with administrative or supervisory staff entering a lot data for the day or week. All this takes a lot of valuable time and generates data entry errors when copying pay class codes, job codes, billings codes, union codes and other key data by employee. But there is an even more important factor that makes data entry even easier: pre-populating key employee data when you can. In this way, beside hours entry, there are methods where we can completely eliminate 40, 50 or even 75% of the other data that foremen and supervisors have to enter. An enterprise class crew time tracking system should be able to pre-populate an employee’s default pay class, job code, or union code when that employee is assigned ahead of time to a crew, or when added to a crew by a foreman. In some cases, pay classes or union codes might need to be overridden by foremen or supervisors. In other cases, they might need to be fixed or “read only” to prevent “accidental” job or pay rate promotions by friendly supervisors. Whatever the requirements, the crew time tracking system should be able to pre-populate key employee data and make it easier for foremen and supervisors to do their jobs. Pre-populating this data has many benefits: 1) reducing errors 2) speeding data entry, and 3) ensuring that correct job and union codes are applied.

In sum, an additional benefit of automating crew timesheets is eliminating certain data entry altogether by pre-populating key data from third party systems when employees are assigned or added to crews.

Automating Crew Timesheets and Data Validation

2011-08-23T16:06:00.000-07:00

In a previous post, we discussed that replacing paper crew timesheets through automation needs to be easier, more efficient and accurate than writing it in on a paper crew timesheet.

But there is perhaps an even more important topic to address: data validation. Foremen and supervisors need a lot of administrative support. Currently, paper crew timesheets must be setup by administrative staff with job, phase and cost code options each day. In the case where foremen have no administrative support, they have to validate these items in their head, or check and re-check job numbers, phases and cost codes with back office staff to make sure they are correct. This manual process is extremely time consuming and prone to errors, creating the need for more corrections and adjustments to crew timesheets later.

What’s the answer? As we discussed before, an automated crew timesheet must allow supervisors, foremen and even back office staff to more easily setup crew timesheets for each day. Systems that have job, phase and cost code hierarchies ensure that they only have valid options from which to choose. In other cases, there might be a need to auto-populated crew timesheet data related to a job or crew. This could include location, shift, or other key information that must be tracked with crew hours to ensure proper reporting or later integration with ERP systems such as SAP or PeopleSoft.

In sum, while ease of data entry if often considered most important, the hidden benefit of automating crew timesheet data validation is far greater than any other. The true power of software is more than automating data entry screens. It’s automating everything else that goes on behind the scenes in crew time tracking.

Crew Timesheet Software Easier, Faster and More Accurate

2011-08-15T16:43:00.000-07:00

Replacing paper crew timesheets through automation is easier said than done. It probably goes with saying, but we’ll say it anyway. Entering jobs, phases, cost codes, pay classes, billing codes, and other key information in a crew timesheet absolutely needs to be easier, more efficient and accurate than writing it in on a paper crew timesheet.

There are a few major tests that any software solution must pass in the field.

Test Number One: eliminating data entry errors. Robust crew timesheet software must significantly reduce or completely eliminate data entry errors. Critical features should allow supervisors to easily search and browse, or to start typing and have an autocomplete find what they are looking for. Automating data entry ensures that only valid jobs, phases, cost codes, etc. are entered, and that approvers and administrative staff do not have to spend time correcting errors.

Test Number Two: Finding and adding necessary resources to a crew timesheet must be easy. Search and browse features, autocomplete features, and filtered search features should make the task much easier. In some cases, the supervisor should be able to identify employees by key properties such as their default pay class, billing code or location.

Test Number Three: Automated copy previous features, and smart copy previous features, allow supervisors to carry forward key information on crew timesheets from day to day, avoiding the need to enter unchanged data again.

Pacific Timesheet Announces Enhanced Actatek 3 Time Clock Support

A SaaS Timesheet System That's YOURS!

2011-05-10T08:11:00.000-07:00

Six Principles of Customer-Centric SaaS Time and Work Tracking

You've spent decades building your company name. Why does your time tracking system promote someone else's?

Pacific Timesheet promotes the most important company in your universe -- YOURS!

Unlike most others, Pacific Timesheet's SaaS Timesheet systems are branded with YOUR company logo, and all of our web pages bear YOUR company's name, not ours. As the technology leader in SaaS time and work tracking we don't need to promote our name, we'd rather promote your company's.

But there's more to this than meets the user's eye.

Six Principles of Customer-Centric SaaS time and work tracking:

What does customer-centric mean? It means your SaaS timesheet system is centered around your company, not ours. It means that the system is clearly marked as your company's system. There's also no confusion about who owns the system, the data or that the data will only be used by your company.

1. Trust: What's this website? What's this URL? Your SaaS system URL should always contain your company name. Users will trust a website url with your company's name. This tells employees and clients that this is the official time and work tracking system of your company.

2. Clarity: the login page should be clearly marked with your company logo, any custom announcements for employees should be clearly visible, and all pages of the site should bear your company's name. For a client-facing business (like staffing or consulting) where their might be client approvals (like construction or field services), or for a business where users or approvers might come and go, you want no confusion about who's time tracking system it is. It's yours!

3. Compliance: when employees see that a SaaS time and work system is clearly marked as their company's they understand this is a critical company system to be taken seriously, a system with which they must comply as part of their job.

4. Security: when clearly marked as your system, and all communications are secure (SSL) all employee, time and work data is understood to be securely managed -- that employees' entered data will only be used by your company -- that their employee master data will never be used outside their company, sold to third parties or compromised in any way.

5. Clearly-marked reminder and notification emails: are they spam? No they are important messages from my company reminding me to submit my timesheet or to approve timesheets or a leave request, or telling me that I am late in doing so.

6. Authentic Ownership: More than a brand or web page name, a SaaS timesheet system should feel like a custom fit, not like it's off the rack. The layout of timesheets, policies, notices, workflows and security permissions should be your company's. Then employees and other stakeholders in the system feel like they own it -- that it is an authentic system for the company.

Only time tracking systems that create trust, have clearly marked interfaces and email communications, robust security, and are custom fit to your business promote employee compliance and achieve the highest levels of performance.

Pacific Timesheet Announces Enhanced SaaS Crew Timesheet Configurability

2011-03-31T11:31:00.000-07:00

Las Vegas, NV — March 15, 2011 — Pacific Timesheet has announced new advanced crew timesheet configuration features that allow construction and field services organization to dynamically setup a variety of 100% web-based crew timesheet templates for time and work capture in the field.

Jim Dickerson, VP of Operations, explains, "Many of our customers have field services or construction operations that track time and work data in different ways across their organizations." Dickerson continued, "These enhanced configuration tools allow customers to have an unlimited number of crew timesheet and time tracking templates from which to choose when track particular jobs in for multiple jobs in many locations."

Pacific Timesheet is now the leader in field service and construction crew time tracking as its customers are able to configure crew timesheets with out-of-the-box functionality rather than requiring lengthy and expensive professional services engagements as is often the case.

Creating annual reports that group data by week

2010-10-11T10:39:00.001-07:00

With a little SQL you can group your timesheet data by week...

This blog post discusses how you can create an annual timesheet report that groups or summarizes data by week. Normally when running timesheet reports, such as Employee Hours, the data is totaled for the entire reporting period. For example, the Employee Hours by Task report looks something like this when run year-to-date:

You can have this report summarize the data in weekly groups by using the following SQL as a grouping:

STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(YEARWEEK(t_timeentry.strt,0),'0'),'%x%v%w')

This SQL is only valid for MySQL, but similar constructs can be made for Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. When you group by this expression the hours data will now look like this:

Here you see the same data, only summarized by the week of the year. You can contact Pacific Timesheet support or your application specialist for a more detailed solution document that describes how to do this.

Crew Timesheet Tips: Automating Cost Code and Craft Level Assignment

2010-10-11T10:38:00.000-07:00

Many believe that the main benefit of automating field services and crew time tracking is reducing administrative costs and eliminating double data entry. While this benefit is significant, perhaps even more important is automating crew assignments.

With advanced assignment automation a system would allow supervisors to login and see a completely populated crew timesheet, including job, cost code and craft level assignments to workers. Another feature of automation would restrict the supervisor, when making or modifying assignments, to only see those cost codes or craft levels a worker is permitted to be assigned.

Distributing assignment-making ability into the field with the supervisor allows crew timesheets to be adjusted throughout the day as workers leave early or replacements show up. All of this means more accurate time tracking throughout the day and automated tabulation of hours and costs at the end of the day.

The majority of construction and field services operations use daily paper crew timesheets to track time by job, cost or craft codes. The paper timesheets need to be created, printed and distributed by administrative staff at the job site.

A difficulty of automating this process is that the crew timesheet needs to be setup with these assignments in advance, or supervisors need to easily be able to make these assignments or change them in the field.

With crew timesheet automation a field services operation has two new options:

1) have administrative staff setup crew timesheets at the beginning of the day, or even modify assignments throughout the day for supervisors tracking time. The supervisors would be go to fully populated crew timesheet screens and enter hours and details throughout or at the end of the day.

2) Where setup of a crew timesheet does not vary from day to day, a copy previous day feature can carry forward the previous day's assignments and thereby completely eliminate any administrative preparation of a new daily crew timesheet. A supervisor can make minor adjustments to the crew timesheet setup and enter hours throughout the day.

New release! Pacific Timesheet 6.72

2010-03-08T07:55:00.001-08:00

A new version of Pacific Timesheet is now available, version 6.72. This version has two key features a number of customers have requested:

New Accrual Option - Forecasting Only
A new accrual option is available that, if checked, will cause accruals to only be used to compute or forecast available leave for requests. The accruals will not be added to the actual balance. This is useful for situations where you are importing or setting balances from an external HR or payroll system, but would still like leave requests to show future available balances. To find out more go to the System > Policies > Balance and Accrual Rules page and click the online help link.
Minimum Work Hours Per Day
There is a new time entry rule, "Minimum Work Hours Per Day", that allows you to require that employees account for each work day, Monday through Friday. This rule is run when the timesheet is submitted, and both work and leave hours are counted when totaling the number of hours worked each day.

You can see all of the changes here:

www.pacifictimesheet.com/timesheet_support/pacific_timesheet_release_notes.htm

If you are using the online service, it will be updated to this version within a few weeks. If you are self-hosting Pacific Timesheet, you should receive an email with download instructions, or you can contact support@pacifictimesheet.com.

Pacific Timesheet Announces Shift Differential Enhancements

2010-02-11T12:17:00.000-08:00

Additional more configurable support for shift differential regular and overtime rules.

Las Vegas, NV — February 10, 2010 — Pacific Timesheet has announced significant enhancements to its time and attendance support for shift differential regular time, shift differential overtime and shift differential double time rules.

Many union contracts and more complicated work rules require, in addition to shift differential rates or payment amounts, that workers are paid certain separate regular, overtime or double time rates for shift work. In addition, shift differential rules can require configurable definitions of which shift hours are included in these calculations, such as starting before a shift, during a shift, or the entire shift. Pacific Timesheet Time and Attendance software handles this support while providing seamless integration with more than 250 payrolls, accounting and ERP systems. Pacific Timesheet Time and Attendance software also supports an unlimited number complex shifts for any day, combinations or days and hours.

Dickerson continued, "Pacific Timesheet's shift differential support provides the same ease of use and administration as our other enterprise class features.

Pacific Timesheet Announces California Labor Rules Enhancements

2010-01-26T11:00:00.001-08:00

Las Vegas, NV — January 25, 2010 — Pacific Timesheet has announced that it has significantly enhanced its support for California labor rules such as meal penalty rules and split shift premium rules.

The state of California requires that certain classified non-exempt or hourly employees are paid a meal penalty equal to one regular hour of pay if they miss a meal after more than five hours of continuous work. In addition, California requires employers to pay non-exempt or hourly employees a premium if the time that lapses between shifts is more than one hour.

Jim Dickerson, VP of Operation stated, "The challenge of complying with California labor laws is not just how they are defined today. Ongoing cases each year have made complying somewhat of a moving target. Pacific Timesheet's highly configurable support for complying with these laws has been an advantage our customers with operations in California have been looking for."

According to the California Labor Code, “In California, an employer may not employ an employee for a work period of more than five hours per day without providing the employee with a meal period of not less than thirty minutes, except that if the total work period per day of the employee is no more than six hours, the meal period may be waived by mutual consent of both the employer and employee. A second meal period of not less than thirty minutes is required if an employee works more than ten hours per day, except that if the total hours worked is no more than 12 hours, the second meal period may be waived by mutual consent of the employer and employee only if the first meal period was not waived.”

Dickerson continued, “Pacific Timesheet provides support for an unlimited number of rule combinations, which includes rules for employees who sign a meal penalty waiver and those who do not sign a meal penalty waiver.” In addition, Pacific Timesheet has provided support that allows for individual meal penalty overrides or split shift overrides or waivers with a detailed comment for auditing for circumstances where the penalty or premium needs to be modified according to the California labor code. Pacific Timesheet also provides extensive support for California overtime rules, including consecutive-day overtime rules.

Variable Bill and Pay Rates

2010-01-25T11:43:00.001-08:00

Pacific Timesheet has a very flexible bill and pay rate engine. This allows you to configure your rates to depend on not just the employee or the project, but to have rates that also depend on tasks, jobs, projects or cost centers. You configure which system objects rates depend on from the System > General > Bill Rate Options and Pay Rate Options pages. For instance, you can configure bill rates to depend on the employee and project. You would then set a default bill rate on the employee’s profile (Employees tab), and add project-specific rates as needed below the profile. Note that bill and pay rates take effect for the current timesheet period and will not affect submitted timesheets.

Pacific Timesheet Announced Multiple Billing Rate and Multiple Pay Rate Enhancements

2009-05-13T06:15:00.001-07:00

Many companies have such complicated and multiple billing rate rules that they have no choice but to support them manually. Some use paper timesheets and got through the arduous task of consolidating data by hand. Others use excel spreadsheets and consolidate manually or with macros. In both cases, this is often necessary to support multiple bill rates and multiple pay rates using many different scenarios. In the case of a Construction or Field Services firm, billing rates for jobs can vary by cost code, equipment being using for a task, the location or the worker's role. In the case of Oil and Gas field services, pay rates for workers can also vary by locations, the type of work, shift, location or other pay differentials. In the case of services firms, professionals providing nursing services, for example, in a customer's home, might have pay rates the vary by the services being delivered, other tasks performed, or even a particular customer attribute that is tracked with timesheet data. Whatever the factors that drive billing and pay rate rules, a time and work tracking solution must be flexible and allow rates to be determined by combinations of any factors in the system.

DCAA Timesheet Compliance and Corrections

2009-04-29T05:39:00.000-07:00

Federal stimulus money has begun to flow into government contracting, federal, state and local government programs. Now we see a spike in the demand for automating timesheets and the timesheet management process. The need is clear but with perceived challenges. First, it’s not possible or advisable to scale program and contract activity in 2009 without have a proper span of visibility and control at a summary or detailed level. Second, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) requirements for timesheet management seem difficult to comply with at first.

However, DCAA compliant timesheet software can provide the help you need. The main issue with automating timesheets is replicating the natural audit trail provided by paper timesheets. Among the most important benefits of paper is you can easily write adjustments or corrections to old timesheets and have a permanent record of that change. Any electronic timesheet program needs to not just edit time entries and details but must preserve the original entries and enter a “correction” entry. If for example we need to change the job number of the 8 hours John Smith worked we need two correcting entries: #1 an entry of -8 hours against the original job number and #2 an entry of +8 against the new job number. If the original time entry has been processed, that is it was already sent to payroll or billing last month, we need to flag this pair of “corrections” entries as “unprocessed” and have a utility to send them the third party system(s) so an employee’s pay or custom invoice can be properly adjusted.

We will discuss additional DCAA requirements needed to maintain compliance in future posts.
