Timesheets are something that I've never been fond of, but non-the-less something that is a requirement within my company. They don't bother me so much, but they seem to really grind some other people's gears. I suppose I have a few questions, and feedback would be great.

  1. Are you required to do timesheets, assuming you aren't a contractor? (That is understandable to me).
  2. What is the granularity of timesheets that you would be comfortable with or that you use? (ex: all entries must be under two hours).
  3. Would timesheets ever factor into your reasons for not accepting a job or leaving a current one?
  4. How has management within your organization justified timesheets if you aren't billing to a client?
