I'm working in Germany and apparently the equivalent here of a weekly timesheet is a monthly "Leistungsnachweis" submitted along with your invoice.

I'm looking at the sample Leistungsnachweis sent to me by GULP (one of the biggest agencies here) and the funny thing is that the sample contractor never bothered to eat lunch or take breaks of any kind during his 14 hour workhorse days. Or maybe he did but couldn't find the box for it on the form.

So is it the custom here to charge the client for swilling ale at midday or how does that work? Is it just something agencies try on or...?
