Microsoft office email has a handy little appointment maker for this reason =]. We get hate mail if we forget to approve our hours
I can relate somewhat on this. My FH has a salaried position so he gets a set amount every 2 weeks, but he also does a lot of travel that he has to turn in expense reports on each week or so depending on how may trips to certain places he ahs made. I get SOO frustrated when he forgets to submit them or be just puts them off. Those checks pay our CC bill since he trys to put all the trip on the CC so we can pay bills as usual from our accounts. He has gotten better though by using Microsoft Money, and using his appointment book that is attached to his email for reminders.
This is a great idea!! Only I think the trouble is he can only submit his hours at work....by then he will have forgotten. Oh joy!
Thats crazy!! I have a reminder in my work calendar to submit my timesheet. Can you ask him to set that up?
I know it would be a pain, but can you maybe add it to your calendar and then try to remind him that morning?
Something similar to this happens to me nearly every other week - seriously! I'm always scrambling on the Friday or Sunday before they have to be approved to log all of them in - and that's only after I get reminded by my boss. I'm terrible with it ... just not something I'm always good on doing.
I agree with Daisybride - it may just be a good idea to add it to your calendar/set an alarm on your phone/set an alarm on his phone even? to remind him!
Awww... thats rough. I;d definitely set up some sort of alerts on cell phones and through excel!
oh man...i just have to check to make sure my managers are doing it right every week!
Does he have a work e-mail that you might be able to send a nice email
saying hey honey! don't forget to do your timesheet. or something?
Than he'll see it at work and than he can do it than....well, hopefully! He won't put it off to later.
also second: cell phone alert. It is how I remember my phone conference meeting every week.
I agree with floridabeachbride. I think either an email, cell phone alert, or maybe even a text message if he can receive them at work reminding, sweetly of course, that he needs to submit his hours so you have money for bills!
i have to turn in my hours at work ( it is really annoying as I was used to salary or at least a time clock!). But there are few enough people here that our payroll person hunts us down if she doesn't have the time sheets in time!
That's frustrating though! I'm sorry. Hopefully you can set up a reminder system, and your Fi learned his lesson!
I don't know if it differs state to state, but I do payroll for a company in Vermont, and we aren't allowed to NOT pay someone if we know they worked. We have to hound them for their time sheet and if we still don't receive their hours, we have to assume a "normal" work schedule, and fix any mistakes the next pay period.
I threaten people that they won't get their check, but its an empty threat since I technically have to pay them. They don't know that though, so don't tell them ^_~
Maybe he needs to set an alarm on his cell phone to remind him? Also, google calendar will send you a text message on your phone to remind you if you set one up. Or he could use Outlook for a reminder... or buy the guy a calendar... in this day and age there is really no excuse for this to be happening?
Bon Chance,

Yes, it is an annoying situation, but I guess he wasn't on the work e-mail reminder each week before hand. His boss was wondering how he could constantly forget to put the time in. I guess the trouble he has is that he will enter his time in for two weeks and when the third week comes he has forgotten about submitting hours since he hasn't done it it two weeks..there is always some excuse, but I think I will try and set up reminders for him. I have to take things in stride though..he has gotten much better at remembering to do things.

AHHHH!!! I could scream for everytime this has happened. Usually it's not a huge problem for us financially, but sometimes it can lead to a problem. I know it seems strange....how could someone forget to get paid? Well my FI is required to submit his hours electronically each week to verify and then have verified by his boss. Trouble is his memory isn't the greatest and if nothing is submitted there is no reminder until the following week when you learn you have no check coming. So why this post? Well FI had been doing good about getting his hours submitted on time until he called to let me know I would be mad at him. Immediately I knew what he had done!! I could and would have yelled at him (but, that is what the old me would have done). I know it's hard to believe, but he probably really did think he submitted them and there is no use crying over spilled milk anymore (though the gallon is practically empty...this has happend 6 times!)
I have learned to remain calm, breathe easy and count to 10....I know this is not worth an arguement and my love for him keeps me from strangling his neck. So for now we are pinching pennies until I get paid again and he gets two checks next week. (If it weren't for that car repair and vet bill, no pinching would be needed, but this is life as a grown-up)
