The perm chump that signs my timesheets is a complete tugger. I do the same hours every week, yet he insists on taking up to 2 days to sign my timesheet. Every week we go though the same old “leave it on my desk” routine. How long does it take? All I need is one freakin’ signature. He just hates contractors.

At one client some years ago the IT Director insisted that only he could sign the timesheets (Great use of his time, shows confidence in his Project Managers blah blah).Originally posted by Jawz .
Of course this added a day or two to the actual signing. I retaliated by taking a couple of hours out to hand-deliver the timesheet to the agency as posting it would have resulted in a week's delay in payment.Why the avatar? Well anyone accused of plotting against Gordon Brown can't be all bad. -

I worked at one place where my PM was in Scotland and I was in Liverpool. I'd do a week, post the timesheet to him via the internal mail. This would take 2 days to reach him. He would usually miss it and fail to send it back on time, meaning that I didn't usually get it back until the following Monday. Then the agency would sit on the signed timesheet for 30 days before paying. That meant week 1 - do the work, week 2 - timesheet signed, Start of week 3 post to agent (wouldn't take a fax). They would get it tuesday of week 3 and the 30 day clock would start. So that would be a min of 4 weeks and 2 days making week 1 payment being made at the end of week 7. I hated that job! Couldn't use the fax as originals had to be sent at all times + PM would not forward them onto the agent incase they got lost!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment
