MEMO

TO: ALL OUTSOURCED PERSONELL
FROM: ACCOUNTING

It has come to our attention recently that many of you have been turning in timesheets that specify large amounts of "Miscellaneous Time". Attached below is a sheet specifying a tentative extended job code list based on our observations of employee activities.

The list will allow you to specify with a fair amount of precision what you are doing during your time, and the client will be billed for all of the codes provided below at a $175 hourly rate. Please begin using this job-code list immediately and let us know about any difficulties you encounter. Incidentally, none of these codes can be used 4 days before the end of month, as we are enforcing a non-client care period during these days.

Thank you,
Accounting
