View Message Here's the concept: Say you have a standard form or set of forms to address
a particular client need--incorporation documents, for example. The forms
need to be created AND maintained. Timekeepers have little motivation to do
that work for the reasons you mention. With the Document Tracking System,
the timekeepers can bill their time for form work to a "document matter."
Then when a client needs the form(s), the client is charged a flat fee, and
the working timekeeper collection credits go back to the document matter and
are proportionately allocated to the timekeepers who did the form work.
Billing, supervising, originating credits go to the so-designated TKs on the
client matter.
