  4. How timekeeping works • Each employee has a timekeeper • Timekeeper receives a timesheet from each employee • Timekeeper checks it for corectness and it is signed by the supervisor and the employee • Timekeeper enters the information into CEFMS (Corps of Engineers Financial Management System) • Timekeeper deals with any issues regarding money and schedules (PT/FT)

  5. Timekeeping history • First – Paper timesheets filled by hand • Timekeeper has to go to each employee individually • No way to know if there will be enough money until crunch time • Timekeeper has to deal with everyone’s handwriting

  6. Timekeeping History • ETS (Electronic Timekeeping System) • Access • Issues • Data Consistency • User Interface • Speed • Single point of entry for Timekeepers and users • Could track project charges somewhat, not very accurate • Produced printable timesheets
