>
> When submitting invoices to some LEAs we have recently received requests
> for a record of work in addition to the timesheets we normally send.
>
> Can anyone tell us whether this is now standard practice? Is there any
> documentation from the DfES stating that this is now required?
>
> We are wondering what has prompted this request. Although we
> recognise that keeping records of work is good practice and encourage
> tutors to do so, we were not aware that they are mandatory or that they
> have to be submitted with invoices.
>
> I'd be grateful if anyone could shed any light.
