“No more searching through emails and piecing together time sheets. Or finding out that I have to redo my time sheet because I had 8 hour dedicated to a project when it was actually six. We are told that our schedule in Float is our guide and it makes doing our time sheets so much easier. It used to be a big hassle to track everyhting after a couple of weeks of timesheets accumulated. Now I'm up to date pretty much every week.”
