As before we MUST HAVE timesheets for all persons that are paid by the project and THEY SHOULD REACH ME WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE MONTH We have to include the months worked in the quaterly reports and we can not send in empty time reports to the Commission. I would also like to remind you that according to the CA you will receive the funds we have temporarily held here at KTH when we have received complete timesheets and cost statements for the first six months and not until then. We need one filled in excel sheet for each person and for each month stating which wp(s) the person has worked in, how many hours and a very short description of what the person has done. You need to file your own paper copy signed by the supervisor as well. If there is a EU audit (KTH had that for at least three projects last year) they will demand such documents and if you are not able to show them, you can be asked to pay the money back. So far we have received the following timesheets: RTU, ITPA, CERN, VGTU: all IMCS UL, IFJ PAN: May and June PSNC: May Looking forward to receive the missing Timesheets VERY SOON In case you have lost it I attach a Timesheet form Best regards Inger
