Pacific Timesheet Announced Multiple Billing Rate and Multiple Pay Rate Enhancements

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

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.
