TIME TRACKING AT LANTANA

Transcription

1 TIME TRACKING AT LANTANA Overview As a services company, labor is Lantana s primary cost of doing business and, in many cases, labor hours are directly billable to our clients. Accurate timekeeping is imperative both to successfully managing costs within the business and to compliant billing of our clients. By submitting a timesheet, staff members certify that they have submitted a complete and accurate record of work performed on behalf of the company or client for the work period. After staff members submit their timesheets, project managers review and approve the time submitted for their projects, and supervisors review and approve timesheets. No individual will approve his or her own time. If a project manager or supervisor rejects a timesheet for any reason, the timesheet is re- opened so that the staff member can make adjustments and resubmit it. Once timesheets are approved, the timesheet data is available for processing by Finance. The following table summarizes the timesheet submission and approval process: Day Activity Person Responsible Friday Complete timesheet and submit it* All employees Monday Approve project time Project Managers Tuesday Approve timesheets Supervisors Wednesday Move data from Journyx to Quickbooks Accountlink Administrator * If you have not submitted your timesheet by 9 am Monday morning, the time tracking system (Journyx) sends a reminder to you and will continue to send the every morning until you submit the timesheet.
