Company Admin During Working Day

[psychocandy]

WHS.

also, as pointed out surfing the net, etc etc is also not what the client is paying you for but I bet there's no-one in the world who doesnt spend at least a little time.

Personally, I always knock together my timesheets and invoices during office hours. But make sure no-one is looking over my shoulder and seeing my invoice!

But then again, client does ok out of me for extra hours in any case...

But one point of view is the admin tasks forms part of the business you are carrying out for the client (as well as posting on CUK...) so shouldn't be an issue.

Put it this way I would be pissed off if my account was billing me for time spent running his business affairs!!

It's a bit of a no brainer this one really. If you are billing the client for the time you should be working on his stuff. You do your company stuff in your time. That is theory of it.

If your environment is flexible to allow you to do it, surf web, post on CUK then fine. That is just flexibility and convenience. If you get caught or questioned don't expect the client to be too pleased.

You could do it on the client site but you are billing for the service provided in your contract, so you couldn't count it billable time.

Common sense. The Client is paying you to carry out their business not yours.

CoSec does all that. It's what she's paid for, after all :-)

I personally wouldn't do anything on client site - it upsets the locals.

Just out of interest, do fellow posters undertake Ltd company admin tasks (invoicing, expenses etc) during the working day, ie in client hours as part of the 'service' being provided, or undertake out of hours / weekends ?
