A Contractor and Temporary Workers view: The problem with paper timesheets
By:Tom Jacobs
Most contractors and temps find timesheet submission a boring and arduous task. Nobody likes paperwork on a Friday afternoon. Chasing your manager for a signature can often be a problem too. Many managers travel with work regularly and aren't available when you need your timesheet signed. Furthermore, when you've got them signed, your timesheets can be lost in the system or incorrectly processed by your recruitment agency. What a headache!
Postal delays
The postal system a headache for submitting timesheets to your agency. Most agencies cite delays in the post as being one of their biggest problems with getting the payroll done on time. Furthermore, often the fax machine causes a bottleneck at the agency on Friday afternoon and the worker often has to leave work with their timesheets in the fax machine send queue, not knowing if or when the timesheet will be sent.
Lost timesheets
Sometimes your timesheet can simply be 'lost in the system'. When this happens, depending on your agencies timesheet system, you may need to wait for a new timesheet from your agency to be sent out with a unique timesheet reference number from the agency.
Data entry errors
If your timesheets arrive at your agency intact occasionally data entry errors can occur when the agency data entry operators are entering your timesheets into their payroll system.
e-timesheetz: A single solution for managing your timesheets today, and tommorow
As a contract or temporary worker, e-timesheetz provides you with the ability to maintain and store your timesheets and expenses online. Additionally, we can have your timesheets and expenses transmitted to your manager for approval (authorisation) and/or recruitment agency for payment if they use e-timesheetz as well.

This means that you can always be sure you are paid for the hours you work. e-timesheetz gives contract and temporary workers piece of mind.

No more chasing signatures: Timesheet approval (authorisation) is easy

The key factor in the success or failure in a business that specializes in closeouts, liquidations, or selling products on eBay is finding items at good prices that you can make a profit on when you resell them.
