TO: ALL PERSONNEL
FROM: ACCOUNTING

It has come to our attention recently that many of you have been turning in
timesheets that specify large amounts of "Miscellaneous Unproductive Time"
(Code 5309). To our department, unproductive time isn't a problem. What is
a problem, however, is not knowing exactly what you are doing during your
unproductive time.

Attached below is a sheet specifying a tentative extended job code list
based on our 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 begin using this job code list immediately and
let us know about any difficulties you encounter.

Thank you.
