One of my pet hates about contracting

[minestrone]

Poor planning and communication on your part.

The trick is to be working on several client projects at once and whenever anyone asks, you are busy on the other project.

Damn straight.

First thing I do on a new gig is ask what is the timecode for filling in the timesheets

...and meetings.

Currently 5 team scrums, 3 dev scrums, 3 data scrums and a weekly team meeting.

Their terminology btw, not mine...

Did I work with you recently?

It's fine if you have a job code, but if your work dries up, what do you put into the tool?

Whatever the job code is for "not working today because there is no work, I'm a contractor not a permanent employee - you see that's the benefits of using a flexible workforce".

Or the nearest equivalent - sometimes, it's as basic as "0 hours" or "Holiday".

Maybe you should put the new coversheet on all the TPS reports before they go out.

So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great.

Go home?

Would help your IR35 position.

Filling in complicated timesheets is a pain in the arse, but as long as it's done in billable time it's a lucrative pain in the arse.

Keep calm and invoice!
