• If the estimate does not match what actually happened, a corrected timesheet must be signed, submitted and approved.
APPROVALS FOR TIMESHEETS
1. The Manager must electronically approve the timesheet of each employee using their unique ID and password.
2. If the Manager is unavailable they must appoint a back-up approver.
TIMESHEET ENTRY INTO GCS
Timesheets can be entered into GCS from paper timesheets turned in then centrally entered or imported from Deltek T&E after employees enter their time electronically.

Further discussion of billing rates and timesheet default set up is found in the Contracts class. For now it is sufficient to know that labor categories must be entered on transactions that affect T&M contracts or Fixed Price Level of Effort (LOE) contracts.
Once the timesheet has been added, click Save as you did when entering the journal entry:
You can make edits until the timesheet is posted or the payroll is calculated. Correcting timesheets must be done if changes are needed after payroll is calculated or the original timesheet is posted
EXERCISE 2
Enter the following regular timesheet:
Timesheet Date: 3/31/09
Employee: Kate Mowbray
Regular Hours: 80
Other Hours: 0
Charging Info: Contract 2006 Task 001 Suffix 39
You will need to push the Auto-adjust button after entering the timesheet line and before you save. This will be discussed in a later section.
UNCOMPENSATED OVERTIME
As discussed above, the government requires all contractors to record all the time a person works. This is referred to as Total Time Accounting. There is an issue with how to spread the cost of a salaried individual across all the time worked in a pay period, because although the hours may vary, the salary amount paid does not. The question becomes, how do you spread the salary amount across all the hours worked in an equitable, DCAA-approved manner? Below is a scenario that illustrates the impact of different methods of allocation
Maria works 100 hours in an 80 hour pay period. Her time is split between projects. During the day, she is working ½ time on a fixed price contract, and ½ time on a cost plus contract. These are both in the final stages of delivery. She is also working in the evenings/weekends on a proposal for a contract that she would then work on full-time. Her time on the proposal is

SET UP A SUBCONTRACTOR
Some companies use independent contractors or subcontractors. These workers can complete timesheets and be billed as an employee, but they submit an invoice for their time and are paid through Accounts Payable instead of Payroll.
To set up a new subcontractor, you must first understand how the processing of their time and invoice will happen.
There are two primary methods of processing subcontractors and one that is rare:
METHOD DESCRIPTION PRO’S/CONS
1. STRICT AP Input both hours and $’s for each subk in the voucher. Requires an Inactive set up in the Employee Master File (EMF)
Pro’s: It is simple with no reconciliation required and it does not use a license in GCS.
Con’s: The hours are not available until the invoice is received which means they are not available for billing until then.
2. TIME COLLECTION
Hours are input in the timesheet, costed with the hourly rate in the EMF and posted to the job via the Labor Distribution. The dollars (only) are off-set by an entry to a clearing account. Requires an Active set up in the EMF, which uses a license in GCS. When the invoice comes in it clears the clearing account.
Pros: Hours are input without having to wait for the invoice so they can be billed more quickly.
Con’s: The clearing account needs to be reconciled and it uses a license in GCS.
3. HYBRID (FIXED priced method--used in rare circumstances where hours need to be collected by subk and entered on the job, but the costing is not hourly and thus cannot be done automatically by the system.) In this case, hours are trapped and posted via Labor Distribution, but the dollars must come into the system via actual AP input.
Pros: Hours are input without having to wait for the invoice so they can be billed more quickly.
Con’s: It uses a license in GCS.

5. IF USING T&E EXPORT MASTER FILES
Before you export master files from GCS make sure updates have been made to the following files.
• Contract Master File (CMF) • Labor Category File • Contract Workforce (CWF) • Employee Master File (EMF) • Employee Time & Expense File
Once you are certain the updates have been made go to the System Administration Module of GCS. In System Interfaces, there is a group of screens for Time and Expense that you will use to make sure the files export properly into T&E.
NeoTip The process needs to run every time there is a change to the CMF, Labor Category File, CWF, EMF or Employee T&E file. That means this may need to be run frequently. You may want to set this up to run nightly.
The Account Type File and Role File screens are generally not used. The Export Configuration File must be set up before you can successfully export

NeoTips

NeoTip If you change gross pay here (NOT recommended, see above) FICA will recalculate but NOT the other taxes.
4. PRINT PAYCHECKS
Once you are certain that Gross and Net Pay are accurate for all employees you can print the paychecks.
NeoTip BEFORE you print paychecks or direct deposit advices, make sure there are no missing accounts. For example if you set up a new withholding state but do not assign a G/L account to the record, any withholding for that state will be charged to ZZZZ-000-00. The posting process will charge any amounts that have a missing account to the ZZZZ-000-00 account. If you catch it before you print paychecks, you will save yourself the extra step of having to move it to the correct account. To catch it, go to the posting screen and print the payroll journal. See the later step in this process for details. Don’t worry the system won’t allow you inadvertently post without any check numbers.

Reconciliations

Scenario with Excess Life: Some employees must have an amount added to their Gross Pay for tax purposes because the company pays for insurance coverage in excess of $50,000. The IRS requires that an amount be added to Gross Pay and taxed. See your NeoSystems consultant for assistance in how to calculate this if needed.
