Thanks

Ok thanks for the information............................for those that use online systems on a weekly/monthly basis, can you advise me of any Pro's and Con's to using them.

If it was a case that paper timesheets were only used as a last resort what would you want to see from a online system functionality wise.

I might end up designing one

I trust paper and multi-part stationery.

I do NOT trust computers.

Not had this happen in 15 years of contracting.

Name and shame?

Elan lost all my ID that was faxed to them.

Plexus (now gone away) lost faxes.

I use an online system and it is great : then so is my agent! Modis since you ask...

With modis, I used clients electronic timesheets, printed them off, got them signed, faxed through. Emailed pdf of invoice. Money in the bank the next day.

Current agency/client. Fill in clients electronic timesheets, print off agency's timesheet, get signed. Send agency timesheet + invoice in the mail. 21 days later (or earlier) money in the bank. I think the agency have an electronic invoicing/timesheet malarky, but never bothered looking.

Online timesheets are excellent.

I fill timesheets on online system of ClientCo, then Manager approves it and i receive an email that its approved and agency also receives that.

I hate doing manual work so its great for me.

thats for me too

I get a timesheet signed, make 2 copies. One goes to 1 company with an invoice and the other goes to another company (I'm employed as a consultant to a consultancy who have sub-contracted me to a software company where I'm working at a governments IT service provider, hoops.) The last few I didn't have to bother even getting them signed, trust. I've used 1 online timesheet system and it was pants, ran on SAP and confused the buggery out of green screen me!

Elan were shocking for it at last year, I mean, really shocking. All the contractors on site with Elan had issues. Modis made up the rest of the contractors and they were always paid on time.

Preferred IT - lost an invoice I faxed them with the net result I missed their monthly pay run & got payed 4 weeks late
Pathway - lost a copy of my VAT registration certificate. Ditto above.

Preferred IT now have an Online system now. Well they did last year.

Some agencies tend to conveniently lose Faxs quite often.

Used paper and online systems.

As long as they get authorised by ClientCo and paid by Pimp on time - Who cares!

Excel and print to PDF, then email.

Why complicate things?

If agents give issues then chasing up paper is easier than chasing up online stuff.
