Collect evidence that fits the assignment

Capture Time, Expenses, and Proof of Work

Capture time, mileage, expenses, materials, photographs, forms, signatures, and deliverables in the context of the work they support.

Proof should match the assignment. A repair visit and a consulting engagement should not require the same submission.

Questions

What teams usually ask

Is proof of work the same for every assignment?

No. Your organization defines evidence appropriate to the assignment, client, and location.

Can reviewers approve some items and question others?

The workflow can distinguish accepted information from exceptions that require follow-up.
