D. If you worked 7 hours, your time sheet will show 7 hours. If the activity was completed in less time than planned, it is up to your PM to verify that the activity is completed and acceptable for reporting 100% progress. The un-used hour may be reallocate by your PM to other activities that requires more time than originally planned. It is up to your PM and the client PM to determine your next activity within the contract agreement. If no activity is available, you will need to find another billable project assignment to ensure continuation of wages.
