Yes, even our CEO and executive VPs fill out timesheets.<\/p>\n<p>Or, rather, they&#8217;re supposed to.  In reality, most folks assume that, even though it&#8217;s contrary to company policy, some higher-level manager types have their assistants\/secretaries keying in their timesheet information &#8212; usually by handing over their timesheet system userid and password.  Which, again, is against company policy, but y&#8217;gotta know that some manager out there is going to consider the two minutes to update their timesheet each day to be excessive and boring and beneath them.<\/p>\n<p>But &#8230; now we&#8217;re implementing a paycheck direct deposit pay stub system as part of the timesheet system.  Through the same login to the timesheet you&#8217;ll be able to access your pay tub from the previous week (if you have direct deposit).  Which will save a lot of money in not having to print and distribute those pay stubs.<\/p>\n<p>But now it means that if Vinnie Veep has given Susie Secretary his timesheet login, she can now not only relieve him of that horrible burden of keying in his hours, but she can also see how much he got paid.<\/p>\n<p>Which, I suspect, will make those lazy execs a lot more diligent about doing their own timesheets in the future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working for a company that is very much oriented around professional service hours, we are all time-sheet oriented &#8212; from the lowest grunt up to the CEO.
