It has come to my attention recently that many people have been
turning in > timesheets that specify large amounts of "Miscellaneous Unproductive
Time" > (EAP-code 5300). To our department, unproductive time isn't a
problem.
> What is a problem is not knowing exactly what people are doing during
> their unproductive time.
> I've attached a sheet specifying a tentative extended job list based
on my > observations of employee activities. The list will allow you to
specify > with a fair amount of precision what you are doing during your
> unproductive time. Please distribute this as necessary, and let me
know > about any difficulties.
