Fw: Job codes

[Paul L. Rinaldo]

Job Codes:

It has come to our attention recently that many of you have been turning in
time sheets that specify large amounts of Miscellaneous
Unproductive non-billable Time (code 5309).  To our department,
unproductive non-billable time is not a problem.  What is a problem,
however, is not knowing exactly what you are doing with your unproductive
time.

Attached below is a sheet specifying a tentative extended matter 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 unproductive nonbillable time. Please begin using this job code list
immediately and let us know about any difficulties you may encounter.
