To US Non-Partner Timekeepers

From Management Committee Date July 17, 2014

Re Time Entry Policy for Attorneys Manual

Entering time daily has been demonstrated to yield a 10% to 15% increase in utilization
immediately. A compelling example of this occurred recently as the St. Louis office, under Jim
Wiehl's leadership, implemented a mandatory daily time entry policy, which yielded a 10%
increase in utilization in the month adopted. The St. Louis office now has the highest utilization
in the firm.
Accordingly, the Management Committee and the Partnership Committee have approved the
following changes to our time entry policy to minimize unnecessary loss of billable time due to
delayed time entry. Each timekeeper's adherence to this time entry policy will support the
Firms ongoing efforts to increase our productivity and profitability.
1. Attorneys should record their time on a daily basis.
2. Time Diaries for Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays must be entered and released no
later than 9 p.m. (Central Time) the following Thursday; and Time Diaries for Thursdays,
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays must be entered and released no later than 9 p.m.
(Central Time) the following Monday.
3. A Practice Leader may grant an exemption for any release period to a timekeeper who is
not able to submit time in conformity with the policy of the Firm. Exemptions will be
granted in exceptional circumstances. If two exemptions have already been granted
during the calendar year, requests for additional exemptions must be submitted to the
Group Head.
4. Only time that is timely entered in accord with the policies of this Firm will be counted for
any bonus to be awarded to associates or senior associates based on hours charged
during the year.
