COVID-19 and Vaccinations

COVID-19 and Vaccinations

Covid variants seem to keep on coming at the moment, so all Associates are encouraged to be vaccinated.

COVID-19 remains a risk to many of our Associates and Clients in maintaining a safe workplace for contractors and employees.

Many Associates have provided us with their Vaccination Certificates showing two vaccinations doses.

We are now asking Associates to provide us with their most recent Certificates showing booster vaccinations.

In preparing proposals for Clients, the status of our Staff and Associates who may be required to work onsite is being requested so it is essential we have this information on our records.

ProjectWorks – Associate Invoicing

Brayden Dixon – Assistant Accountant

I would like to thank all associates once again for the continuous feedback received in using ProjectWorks for timesheets and invoicing.  If you have any ideas for improving ProjectWorks, don’t hesitate to email me.

We request where possible using ProjectWorks daily to record timesheets and expenses, so that this information is ready to go at the conclusion of the current month.

As CT Management Group follows a monthly invoicing process, I would ask that all associates please notify me through email that you have made timesheet and expense entries on the last day of that month in which you have been working.
