How can we encourage resources to fill the time sheets on time. People do fill the time sheets but after the reminders and notifications. What are the creative ways to get it done on regular basis. Saving Changes...
In one area of our department this is written into the expectations from which the employees will be measured for their evaluations. Also, in our case, an explanation of why it is important to have the time sheets input timely (used for charging appropriate areas for the resources on various projects) was helpful.

Hi Pravin,
I'm using CLARITY, in that the timesheets are linked with Schedule, hence people easily select their task and fill, that way we also get Actuals and Remaining ETC left.
Hopefully i can see the Project portfolio management tools help on this.
I feel unless it is linked to your schedule, you cannot exactly measure the actuals being spent.
Thank you
Ganesh. Saving Changes...

If not tools then surely it will require a commitment from all management depts. Hr should make a policy that salary will be calculated on Hrs filled in Time Sheet. Then possibly it will self drive the people to take it seriously. Saving Changes...
One of the way is to have it define in expectations. The explanation is more important to tell resources, why it is important to fill the time sheets. I am trying to link it with performance evaluations.
