Dear All

It has been observed that many of you are not filling the timesheets on regular basis.  Let me tell you, filling up time sheets is the only way, to measure your hardwork, as long as you are working on this project. So please do not default on this.  More over, This is important for us to report it to our client, the actual amount of work done by each one of you in terms of number of hours per day, at the end of every week. 

Only on the basis of this, we can bill you all to the client, which is directly linked to you monthly salary.  In our words, it leads to loss of pay for any particular day, for which time sheet is not filled.
Please adhere to the company guidelines & fill the same on daily basis or atleast weekly basis.

Answer:

Dear Gill Roy,

The project “Payment processing system” was scheduled to be delivered on 10th May (Friday). However, due to an unexpected power outage in our offshore site for the past 3 days, work did not progress as expected. Also we lost a few of our works as backup systems did not come online.  Hence we are expecting an overall delay includes recovery of lost work in the delivery of the project for a maximum of 7 days within which our team will work on the issues. Apologies for the delay and we will ensure that the mistake will not recur in future again. 

Thanks and Regards
