Timesheet?
I will be coming from an SE position where I DID NOT need to keep a timesheet, will this now be a requirement or is there some way MQ does it all for you?

Timesheet
If you have Excel, the time sheet is automatically filled in with everything but how many hours you worked...it's very easy and takes about 3 seconds to complete and send. The platform is so easy that I'm surprised it doesn't type the report for you :) Again, great company..and no, I am not management...merely a happy MT.

timesheet? ha!
pfft. i worked for transform for 3+ years and never sent in a timesheet. And you have to work more than 40 hours or you get nagged, nagged, nagged, nagged, nagged until you do.

I just note on my timesheet
In the hours field, I minus how many hours of no work. I figure it's not my fault, it's theirs. What I don't like is that if it picks up later in the week they say we NEED to make up our time. The way I see it, I'm available when scheduled, sometimes I make it up, sometimes I don't. Life is too short to be stressed out about no work or too much work. My job comes second in my life and I have found this to be the best solution. I guess today is going to be bad because I hardly ever run out since I start really early in the morning and only work part time. I do other things while waiting and if it never comes like today, oh well...soon enough we will be swamped again. It always happens that way.

No timesheet. Just log on and work. nm

Do you still have to fill out a timesheet with the keystrokes
s

Save your timesheet for viewing only and lock it so it can't be edited. nm

Does DQS track your time for payroll, or do we fill in our own timesheet on-line? nm

What about keeping a timesheet? Is that required since you just meet a line count? SM
Do you have to keep track that you worked at these certain hours each day, or do you just log on and work and meet your line count and not care what time it is?
