Contractor Sign In Sheet: Fill & Download for Free

There are simple bits of lingo that you’ll hear in other industries, but much more commonly among contractors. Calling everyone brother, for instance; calling the project manager / superintendent chief or boss man, etc.10–4 is something you’ll hear a lot on a worksite. In almost six years, I haven’t heard any other 10- signs over the radios, but this is the standard “message received and understood” response.When calling for someone over the radio, most people will say either “How ‘boutcha ‘Name’?” or “Come back ‘Name’”. If you need to meet up with them, you’ll ask “What’s your 20?”Strange nicknames are common as well. I know a couple of people that go by Cornbread, and I’ve met at least three different guys that everyone calls Pork Chop. One of our safety men used to have a terrible attitude all the time, and was christened Shitty. Everyone stills calls him that.Contracting seems to attract a lot of people from remote areas of the country, so you’ll hear a lot of folksy sayings. Some of my favorites:Nuttier than squirrel shit.Fine as frog’s hair.If I was any better, I’d have to be twins.Busier than a cat burying a turd.I’m coming atcha like a herd of turtles (I’m coming to where you are as fast as I can, but you and I both know how fast that is).Busier than a one-legged man at an ass kicking competition.Since the work is done primarily in 1–2 month stretches for major turnarounds, most of the employees will work for more than one company during the year, and as a project winds down, you’ll hear them asking, “When can I get a layoff?”Layoff is not a dirty word in our industry, and towards the end of a job, we’ll go through several reductions of force. ROF, we call it. If you’re run off the job, we might be put down as ROMF instead - run off, well, you know.If someone quits, you could say that he “drug up” - some guys get a reputation for threatening to drag.I myself am know as the money man, the guy that does the bookkeeping. The daily sign in sheet for accountability / headcount is often called the money sheet, which is not the same thing as the sheet you sign to get a payroll advance if you need one. That is the draw sheet.Sometimes, it’s not even a particular phrase. On a project last year in Washington, most of the crew that was regularly in the office trailers took to speaking like Billy Bob Thornton’s character in “Sling Blade”. No, I don’t know why, but it went on for about four weeks.That sort of thing isn’t uncommon. Morale is important in this line of work, and finding ways to have fun and enjoy each other’s company is a major focus.There’s a lot of other small things, but most of it boils down to attitude, and knowing your audience when speaking to a client, versus talking to a superior, versus talking to a peer.

Interesting!Buy an A4 or A3 sheet(~₹1 ), a pencil(₹2), an eraser and a sharpener(₹2).That's your investment.If you are an Artist:Go to the nearest public place where you can find couples and explain that you can draw their picture for ₹100.If you are a mechanic:Walk to the highway and write a sign board saying "Can repair almost any vehicle for 100 Rupees!"(provided that the vehicle contains the tools needed to repair). You could replace the flat tyres, check for radiator, oil leakage etc.If you are an IT employee:Write a sign board saying "can debug the code for 100+ Rupees" and go to the nearest public IT area(during lunch time and evenings) where people might be sitting in front of their laptops and scratching their heads.If you are an electrician:Go to the streets where there might be power problems or minor appliances problems in their houses and repair them.If you are an architect:Draw a simple plan of a building and sell it to the contractors.If you are a photographer(or a guy who knows how a camera works):Go to a nearest tourist spot and write a sign board saying "can help with taking awesome pictures" and take a picture for few rupees.Above all, are nothing but freelancing in public.If you are nothing:Save the five rupees for eating any food that gives some energy and go to a construction site for working as a daily wage for one day or go to a transport factory for lifting some heavy bags of stuff for some money.you know, hard work is always paid.It's legal.Edit:I want to update few points raised in the comments/messages:The money you earn depends on the amount of work done. So, you can ask the right amount for your work, not just Rs.100.My point on IT employee to be as to help the person who came to a public place with a laptop during the lunch/free hours and still continuing his work, tell him to relax while you can finish his work in the mean time.What about traveling? :I think two legs does the job. (Is it pretty hard to walk a few kilometers?)What fills the stomach for Rs. 5?:Perk glucose :pIt's not about filling the stomach or enjoying the taste, it's to get out of hunger.How did you approach to this answer? :When I first saw this question, I myself thought 'what would I do if I had only five rupees in my pocket?'After twenty minutes, I came up with the first point of this answer.

You might consider a simpler solution. If your contractors are using Outlook, you might consider TimeSheet Reporter (www.timesheetreporter.com), as it allows you to track time based on your calendar appointments.There's also an approval workflow included so that you can approve your contractors time submissions.Hope this helps :)
