Subject: [RESADM-L] Time and Effort Reporting

We are in the process of re-writing our Time and Effort Reporting Policy
and got stuck on a point.

Section J. 10. Compensation for Personal Services b.(2)(b)  states in
part that:

"Direct cost activities and F&A cost activities may be confirmed by
responsible persons with suitable means of verification that the work
was performed."

What kind of "suitable means of verification" you consider acceptable
when a responsible person signs a Time and Effort Report on behalf of an
employee who is unavailable to sign it? What do you consider to be a
"suitable means of verification" when the employee signs?
