Concept, Characteristics1. Management Control is the process by which managers
influence other members of the organization to implementthe organizations strategies.
2. Through the process of Management Control, managers assurethat resources are obtained and used, effectively andefficiently, in the accomplishment of organizations objectives.
3. Control hierarchy is : Strategic Planning, Management Control,Operational Control and Task Control.
4. Achieving Goal Congruence between organizational goals
and individual goals is the objective of Management Control.5. Management Control is a repetitive activity largely based on
financial and non-financial measures of performance

Example of Management
Control Decision to penetrate market in Southern India is Marketing
Strategy.
Ensuring that this gets reflected in Sales Budget for states inSouth India, breaking it down by Zonal and Regional Offices,and to oversee implementation of the budget through the salesorganization is Management Control.
Ensuring booking of orders, delivery of goods, billing thecustomers and recovering money in one of the cities in South
India is Operational Control. Arranging transport for supply of material against a particular
order and ensuring that the material is delivered as per promiseis Task Control.

Goal Congruence Goal Congruence means that actions that people take according
to their perceived self interest are also in the interest of theorganization.
In evaluating management control practices, two mostimportant questions are (a) What actions do these practicesmotivate people to take in their self-interest? (b) Are theseactions also in the interest of the organization?
According to agency theory, managers are said to be agents of
the owners. Goal Congruence expects that the agents safeguardand act in the interest of the owners.
Goal Congruence is dependent on factors such as organizations workethic, culture and management style.
A control system needs to accept and consciously promote theobjective of goal congruence.

Case for Strategy Implementation Public Sector Banks will have to leave Comfort Zone.
A comparison of PSU banks with private sector banks indicated thatthe PSU banks have a much lower Fee Income as compared to theprivate sector banks. (Fee income includes income from advisory
services, syndication of loans, providing letters of credit andguarantees, and sale of other banking products). Yes Bank, whichis just 8 year old, earned fee income of Rs 767 cr. for 2011-12,which is higher than 18 other public sector banks.
PSU banks have been reluctant to do this mainly because of theirinherent constraints. Traditionally these banks have been trained to
focus on Interest Income on loans; however loans given withoutadequate due diligence are coming back to haunt them as badloans. Not many PSU banks have developed expertise in the field ofadvisory services despite having a huge network of branches.

Case continued -Public Sector Banks will have to leave Comfort Zone.
Ms Shikha Sharma CEO and MD of Axis Bank mentioned that herbank has developed a strong fee income infrastructure based onskillset of experienced employees, pursuit of product innovation,
value added services, diverse distribution channels, and above all,commitment to a customer-centric approach. Fee income of AxisBank for 2012 is Rs 4341 Cr. out of a total Rs 27436 Cr. (15.8%).
Bank of Baroda which is a PSU bank has a ratio of Fee Income toTotal Income of 3.7% (out of a total Rs 33589 Cr.). The bank has
taken a policy decision of increasing this ratio to 10 % over a 5-year period; broken down into specific year-wise targets.
Comment on Strategy Implementation measures which may beneeded, and especially on the Management Control Systems.

Griesinger Paradigm1. Cybernetics Science of communication and
control, also the way systems regulate themselves,
replicate, evolve and learn. Credited to NorbertWeiner, a Mathematician.
2. Cybernetics is essentially about systems in self-control. They have goals, can measureperformance, compare performance with goals,
compute variance, report variance, determinecauses of variance, take corrective action, andrepeat the cycle until goals are met.

Applying Griesingers
paradigm to a real life case ET headline - FM asks bankers to pressurize builders
to speed up projects and cut prices of apartments.
The builders are said to be sitting on a largeinventory of unsold apartments, in which huge capitalis blocked. Banks are being asked by FM to putpressure on builders, since they have funded boththe builder and the home loan borrower. For
example, State Banks exposure to Realty sector is144000 Cr, ICICI Banks 81000 Cr.
Review Griesingers diagram. Assign Roles stated in the diagram
to agencies in the situation stated above.

Applying Griesingers
Paradigm - Solution Information given in the case, especially FM putting pressure on the
banks, passes thru Sensor and results in Formulation of Goals.
The bankers entrusted with persuading the builders are the decision
makers. The information analysis and communication system existingin the bank is Sensor. Based on inputs provided, the decision maker(s)perceive and formulate their Factual Premises. These are comparedwith goals thru a comparator which can be a committee.
The decision maker(s) decide about actions needed to meet the goals.
The effector is an individual or a group which puts into effect what
has been decided, making behavioral choice from an availablerepertoire.
The environment changes; to be assessed by the sensors, for the nextcycle of System even the goals may be altered.

Management Control Systems
- Summary Management Control Systems is the process of
implementing organizations strategy.
In order to translate strategy into performance,management control systems need to be supportedby appropriate Organization Structure, HumanResource Management, and corporate Culture i.e. astructure of norms and values and beliefs.
The control process consists of FIVE components :Control Infrastructure, Management Style andCulture, Specific Processes, Rewards and Penaltiesand Mechanism for Coordination and Integration.

Responsibility Centers- I All organizations are made up of smaller organizational units
divisions, departments within divisions, sections withindepartments. If any of these units and sub-units is headed by a
supervisor responsible for its performance, the said unit or sub-unit is called a Responsibility Center.
The main purpose of MCS, that of implementing theOrganizational Strategy is put into effect through theresponsibility centers. If each of the responsibility centers meetsits objectives, the objectives of the organization will have beenmet.
An important function of Management Control Systemstherefore is to control the performance of ResponsibilityCenters.

Responsibility Centers- III
Responsibility Centers differ from eachother in terms of
Measurability of Inputs and Outputs
Measurability of Efficiency and Effectiveness ofOutput, in relation to Inputs. (Efficiency is ratio ofOutputs to Inputs. Effectiveness is closeness of the
output to objectives of the Responsibility Center).
Depending on the above, ResponsibilityCenters are divided in Four Types.

Expense Centers Expense Centers are responsibility centers in the case
of which input is measured in monetary terms but
output (goods, services, effects) cannot be or is notattempted to be, measured in monetary terms.
Examples of expense centers are manufacturingdepartments in a factory, administrative and supportdepartments such as accounting and maintenance,
training, transport, research and development etc. Controlling Expense Centers essentially means
ensuring Efficiency and Effectiveness in theiroperations for which both monetary and non-monetary measures are used.
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi

Expense Centers Control linked to
behavior of 3 types of costs
Engineered Costs are those in the case of which right orproper amount of costs can be calculated with a fair degree ofreliability. (e.g. material costs, piece rate labor)
Committed Costs are those which arise as a result ofCommitment made by the decision maker. The costs remainconstant during the period of the commitment (e.g. Office Rent,interest on term loan)
Discretionary Costs (also known as Managed Costs) arise as
a result of discretion or judgment exercised by the decisionmaker. The right or proper amount cannot be stated withexactness. A range may be stated, it is often, however, toobroad to be of any practical use. Percentage change in costs toachieve desired percentage change in results can also not bestated. (Example: Advertisement Costs)
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi

Engineered and Discretionary
Expense Centers Engineered Expense centers are those where
Engineered Costs are a dominant form of costs
incurred those in the case of which right orproper amount of costs can be calculated with a fairdegree of reliability.
Discretionary Expense Centers are those where amajority of costs incurred are of Discretionary type
where the right or proper amount to be spentcannot be stated with exactness.
In the case of either of these, other types of costsmay also exist and need to be controlled usingtechniques/ practices suitable for them.
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi

Controlling Engineered Costs The steps in cost control are as follows.
Measure output in physical terms
Work back expected Input cost on the basisof a set methodology (formula, algorithm)
Compare Actual Costs with expected Costs
Measure Variation Analyze variation
Take corrective action

Variance Analysis Problem for
Material Costs As per Standards set by Asmita Builders, 1 litre of
Cement Paint, at a standard rate of Rs 58 per litre,
can be used to paint 50 square feet. Actual costincurred at a site for painting 10000 sq.ft. came toRs 11400 for 190 litres of paint used. Compute Rate
Variance and Usage Variance.
Formulae :
Rate Variance Difference in Rates X Actual Usage Usage Variance Difference in Usage X Std. Rate
Net Variance Standard Cost - Actual Cost
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi
36/130
Solution to the Problem Standard usage for 10000 sq ft is 200 litres at
Rs 58/ Ltr. Total Std Cost Rs 11,600.
Actaul Usage 190 litres at Rs 60/Ltr, Rs 11400
Rate Variance: (58 - 60) X 190 - Rs 380 (U)
Usage Variance: (200 190) X 58 Rs 580(F) Net Variance: Rs 11600 Rs 11400, Rs 200;
also equal to (Rate Var. + Usage Var).

Controlling Committed Costs Committed costs can be controlled only at the stage
of making the commitment (e.g. Office Rent or
Interest on Term Loan) Suitable policies and procedures need to be designed
so as to ensure control at the stage of commitment.These will include assigning responsibility ofcontrolling Committed Costs (or a part thereof) to
respective Responsibility Centres. A majority of Committed Costs arise from Capital
Expenditure decisions; which is an important domainunder Management Control.

Notes on Controlling
Discretionary Costs - I1. Competent Managers by virtue of theirknowledge and skills, keep the costs
under control and get value for expensesincurred. They are also expected to makeadequate use of expertise available within
and outside the organization - lawyers,auditors, advertising and market researchagencies etc.
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi

Notes on Controlling
Discretionary Costs - II2. Healthy atmosphere stands forprofessional, task-oriented approach to
work. The employees in such anorganization display efficient, goaloriented behaviour which ensures
teamwork and efficiency as a result ofwhich discretionary expenses are keptunder control.

Notes on Controlling
Discretionary Costs - III3. Policies, procedures, guidelines and rules is a way ofensuring adherence to standard practices across the
organization. There can be a company policy aboutacquiring branch office on lease or as outrightpurchase. Purchase Procedure will ensure that nopayment is made to a supplier unless goods have beenreceived. Banks may have guidelines about assessing
credit-worthiness of a auto-loan borrower. SEBI has aset ofrules for IPOs by limited companies. All theseensure uniformity, control, and compliance withobjectives.

Standard Operating Procedure
(SOP) for Purchase of goods Purchase procedure begins with indents prepared by user
departments. Indents are consolidated by Purchase Departmentso that a bulk order can be placed for similar goods. Purchase
Dept. invites quotations for the goods in question. Number ofquotations invited depend on expected value of the purchase(minimum 3). Value above a specified amount calls for an opentender thru a newspaper advertisement. Departmental headshave an authority to decide the source of supply up to a statedamount; beyond which the source is decided by the purchase
committee. Beyond a certain amount, top 3 (or 5) suppliers maybe called for negotiation before the purchase committee.
How will you deal with routine purchase of items of raw material? Whatchanges will be required for e-buying? How to measure performance ofsuppliers?

Notes on Controlling
Discretionary Costs - IV4. Policies, procedures, guidelines and rules willneed to be reviewed from time to time so as to
keep them up to date. For example, DailyAllowance for outstation travel should keeppace with current price levels. Rules for use ofnew technologies will be required to be framed.
Outdated policies, procedures, guidelines andrules may be detrimental to meetingorganizations objectives.

Notes on Controlling
Discretionary Costs - V5. Engineered Cost components exist as a part ofDiscretionary Costs. Information Technology
Department is a Discretionary Expense Center, of whichdata entry is an engineered cost, compensated on perentry basis; so is invoice printing as a part of marketingdepartments work. These components can becontrolled on the basis of measuring output, working
back the expected input costs and comparing them withthe actual. Development of metrics for many othertasks is also attempted to control productivity and thecost.
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi

Notes on Controlling
Discretionary Costs - VI6. Though not as rigid as in the case of other types ofcosts, use of budget is common in discretionary costs to
develop planning and controlling skills amongmanagers, (e.g. for expenses such as advertising andtravel). Budgets can be used as ceiling not morethan the stated amount, floor not less than thestated amount in the case of developmental expenses
and guide around the stated amount. Budgets aredetailed for functions, sub-heads and geographical units(e.g. branches) so as to ensure higher degree offinancial discipline.
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi

Notes on Controlling
Discretionary Costs - VII7. Non-financial measures to control discretionary costsare used to measure effectiveness, along with
efficiency. Producing monthly Balance Sheet before 7th
of the following month can thus be a target foraccounting department. Preparing a report on ageanalysis of outstanding and ensuring that these are inline with the norms is a way to control Credit Control
Department. Banks can similarly set norms for NPA(Non performing assets). Some of these are expressedas KPIs, considered as important as financial results.
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi

Notes on Controlling
Discretionary Costs - VIII8. Benchmarking is a simple yet effective method ofimproving performance and indirectly controlling costs.
A bank can compare performance of branches in thesame category with respect to their income from otherservices and identify best practices for the benefit ofall. Benchmarking can be formalized by having anagreement with an organization considered superior in
the specific segment which may share their practiceswith their benchmarking partner at a cost.
Combination of all methods (1 to 8) is needed in orderto control discretionary costs.

Cost Control of Handling Service Requests and
Complaints at a Mobile Phone Company Service Center
1. Competent Managers, Healthy Atmosphere2. Policies, Procedures, Guidelines, Rules based on above (one of
these could be training to staff, specifying qualifications forcomplaint handlers)
3. Yearly review to identify changes required in policies,procedures, guidelines and rules
4. Budgets, in terms of people and equipment, minimumallocation for new technologies, software, facilities
5. Engineering Cost Method for routine complaints (Targets per
day)6. Use of non-financial measures (Zero Complaint Week for a
particular type of complaint)7. Benchmarking thru comparison between branches8. Use of Mystery Shoppers, performance audit

Profit (or Financial Performance) Centers
as Responsibility Centers
1. Both input and output is measured in monetary terms. Thedifference, profit(or surplus), is said to measure efficiency aswell as effectiveness. Profit also serves as resource allocator.
2. Considered Tool of Decentralization and of Goal Congruence3. Two types : Natural (e.g. Independent product or a branch)
and Constructive (formed deliberately, such as ComputerDepartment and Law Department)
4. Profit (often called profit contribution) is measured as ProfitCenters Revenue minus direct costs (before tax).
5. Sum total of profits of all divisions may not necessarily equalfirms profit; some of the prices of profit centers are merely formeasurement of their respective contribution.
6. The system presupposes a certain degree of professionalmaturity and systems support
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi
52/130
Transfer Price Since at least a part of the business transacted by the profit
centers is with other intra-company profit centers, the pricescharged and paid by them to each other (transfer prices)
become important. Unless based on sound rules the TransferPrices can emerge as a major source of dispute between thecenters; thus negating purpose of achieving goal congruence.
Unlike Inter-company profit centers, intra company profitcenters do not have complete freedom to set prices.
3 possibilities (1)Profit Centers do not have the freedom tobuy from outside; they must buy internally at negotiated prices.(2) Profit Centers have a long term arrangement to buy or sellintra-company (3) Buy or Sell decisions can be taken on a shortterm basis. (Case of large open market)

Transfer Prices 3
alternatives1. Market Based Using Market price as a base
2. Cost Based Cost Plus Profit
Full Cost+ Profit for high Capacity Utilization
Variable Cost+ Profit for low CapacityUtilization
Use of standard rather than actual Costs isdesired in either case
3. Negotiated Price
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi
54/130
Special Pricing Alternatives1. Two step Pricing
Transfer Price is made up of 2 components, a fixedmonthly charge plus per unit charge, usually onvariable cost basis (like domestic electricity bills)
2. Dual Pricing
Transferring and Transferee departments havedifferent prices for the purpose of computing profit
3. Profit Sharing : Downstream profit is shared between upstream
responsibility centers

Hostel Pricing Case1. An Engineering college has a Hostel. The Hostel and
Engineering College are both Financial Performance (Profit)Centers.
2. The Cost Per student according to Hostel Management comes
to Rs 22,500 per student.3. The students find the rate on the higher side. Comparable
accommodation in the area is available at Rs 15,000.4. The management desires to offer the rooms at Rs 15,000,
provided the college subsidizes the difference.5. The college questions the cost, arguing, hostel makes no effort
to control costs since these can be passed either to thestudents or to the college.6. What should be the transfer price policy which will ensure
efficiency and motivation to perform at the Hostel level? Howto ensure that the College and the Management are alsomotivated?
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi
56/130
Possible plan of action1. Subsidy required to protect the interest of the Institution so
that hostel facility is offered to students and that rooms do notremain vacant.
2. Consider Market Price to decide subsidy3. Compute hostels per students cost as Standard Cost Plus
Profit, not actual cost
4. Hostels performance with respect to admissions should beevaluated on actual vs. budget.
5. Subsidy should be charged to a Control Account; which may
be distributed to colleges (on the basis of their admissionquota in hostel, number of students in college or total fees).
6. Charging subsidy direct to college is dysfunctional; they maynot send students to hostel, preferring alternatives.

Investment Centers1. Investment Centers are basically profit centers where profit
center managers also have the freedom to control theirInvestments i.e. fixed as well as current assets deployed bythem. Instead of absolute profit, profit related to Investment(ROI) is therefore used as a tool of measurement. ROI alsoserves as a resource allocator.
2. Investment Centers are even a better tool of Decentralizationand of Goal Congruence.
3. Along with Profit, assets deployed by the resp. center alsoneed to defined. Allocating all assets in Balance Sheet is oftena difficult exercise in the case of intra company investmentcenters.
4. The system presupposes a high degree of professionalizationand systems support. Asea Brown Boveri, a MNC, has 1000investment centers and 5000 profit centers.

2. If weighted average Cost of Capital is 18%, what is EVA?
3. If management uses ROI as a performance measure, whateffects on management behaviour do you expect?

UoP December 2011 - Solution to the
Problem - I
1. ROI = Profit Ignoring Tax / Av. Total Assets
= Rs 8 Lakhs / Rs 30 Lakhs
= 26.67% Approx.
2. EVA = Profit Ignoring Tax Cost of Capital X Capital
= Rs 8 Lakhs - 18% X Rs 22 Lakhs
= Rs 8 Lakhs - Rs 3.96 lakhs
= Rs 4.04 Lakhs

Uop December 2011 -Solution to the
problem (Continued)
3. To use ROI as a performance measure, the management willhave to specify ROI norms. While overall ROI may be higher thanthe norm, some of the projects may not have covered Cost of
Capital and may thus destroy value. These projects need to bereworked or discontinued; this does not happen under ROImethod. Pursuit of higher ROI may result in rejecting projectswhich may have yielded positive EVA; thus opportunities lost.
4. With EVA as a performance measure, projects yielding positiveEVA will be selected. This is good enough since Cost of Capital will
always be covered. Problems stated above with respect to ROI willbe overcome. Using variable Cost of Capital depending on assetclass (e.g. Working Capital), managers can be guided to chooseprojects that add value for shareholders and thus achieve goalcongruence .

Budgetary Control Purpose of the Budget is to translate Strategic Plan in time-
bound activities, to be accomplished by respective responsibilitycenters. Budget is said to be one year slice of the Strategic Plan.
(e.g. Current year sale as a part of a long term new marketpenetration strategy, State level budgets).
It is also the most common form of Management Control.Adhering to budget automatically ensures goal congruence.
Budget may contain both monetary and non-monetary targets.
All four types of responsibility centers viz. Revenue Centers,Expense Centers, Profit Centers and Investment Centers comeunder the purview of Budget.
Budget represents two way commitment on the part of themanagement and the responsibility center managers.

Zero Base Budgeting (ZBB) Zero Base Budgeting was formulated by Peter Phyrr in 1970. It is not a
new technique but an approach to formulation of the budget.
In a typical budget, current years budget is formed with a few(usually) upward changes in the previous years figures. ZBB arguesthat each years figures should start with Zero, and then builtobjectively based on properly justified needs for current year.
ZBB works with a Decision Unit which is a responsibility center. Eachdecision unit will need to justify each of the tasks undertaken, knownas decision packages, separately, based on cost benefit analysis.Consequences of not funding the decision package need also be stated.
A decision package can be stated as one among stated options. It can
also start with a minimum to be expanded as per justified need.
Overall budget is made up of accepted decision packages (i.e. tasks).
ZBB has a potential to cut down vast unnecessary expenditure.

Budgetary Control with respect to Engineered,
Discretionary and Committed Costs
Budgetary Control for Engineered Costsl is usually throughFlexible Budgeting. Since cost per unit is known, additionalbudgetary provision can be made based on output. (e.g.
Painting cost per sq. ft.). Variance analysis should be used toanalyze deviation from the budget.
The budget for discretionary cost should be prepared in detailand itemized so as to develop clarity and financial disciplineamong managers (e.g. Dept. wise/ Destination-wise/ mode-wiseTravelling Expenses). It may be stated as Floor, Ceiling or a
guide to promote desired behaviour. Committed Cost budget needs to be approved by a high level
committee, since committed costs can be best controlled at thestage of commitment (e.g. Interest on Long Term Loan)

Performance Measurement
Financial Measures Since purpose of MCS is to implement strategy, measuring
performance of responsible managers (with respect toimplementation) is an essential part of the system. This is done
with the help of Financial and Non-financial Measures. Financial Measures of performance are those discussed in the
context of Revenue and Expense Centers, Profit Centers andInvestment Centers. These include Budgets, Analysis of
Variance, Transfer Pricing, Profit Computations, Return onInvestment, Du Pont Analysis, EVA, MVA etc.
Organizations also use a variety of ratios based on FinancialStatements; these are evaluated in comparison with specifiednorms (e.g. 2:1 Norm used for Current Ratio).
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi

Performance Measurement Non
financial Measures Responsibility centers also have non financial objectives such as
Market Share and Talent Acquisition, which are equallyimportant for attainment of goal congruence.
Key Success Factors (KSF) and Key Performance Indicators(KPI) are often stated in measurable, yet non-financial terms(e.g. Restricting attrition rate to maximum 2.5% for a BPOfirm). An example of KSFs for a tour and travel companyfollows. Evolving meaningful non-financial measures is animportant feature of a Management Control System.
Balanced Score Card is a widely accepted system to balancefinancial and non financial perspective on performance. Similarmethodologies, such as Malcom Baldrige criteria are also used.

Balanced Score Card BSC was developed by Robert Kaplan and David Norton over
1990 to 1996. The technique has been adopted by severalorganizations not merely for performance measurement but as
a strategic management system; it is thus used to(a) clarify vision and strategy
(b) Communicate and link strategic objectives and measures
(c) Plan, Set Targets and align strategic initiatives
(d) Enhance strategic feedback and learning
Four perspectives of Balanced Score Card are as follows.
1. Financial Perspective
2. Customer Perspective
3. Internal Business Perspective
4. Learning and Growth Perspective

Implementing BSC in practice Balanced Score Card works by requiring an
organization to spell out precise strategic initiatives ineach of the four perspectives of the BSC.
Further, measures for every strategic initiative aredefined so that responsible managers have clarityabout actions to be taken and about measurement ofperformance.
Examples for the four aspects and two case studieson BSC implementation follow.

Internal Audit Internal Audit is carried out using similar
methodology as for external audit, with a muchlarger sample and with higher frequency.
Internal Audit aims at covering areas of operationwhich are likely to be left out of external audit,because of a smaller sample. Internal Audit thusplays a role complementary to External Audit.
External Audit works, by and large, at the level ofManagement Control. Internal Audit works at thelevel of Operational Control, ensuring that routineprocedures are adhered to.

Control System Design Troston Company has 175 employees, paid
on hourly rate, 40 Hours week. Overtime ispaid at twice the rate.
Employees swipe bar coded clock cards keptin a rack near the factory gate. How to ensure that only the authorized
employees enter? that there are no proxies?that O.T. is authorized?
What is the crosscheck on overall number ofemployees every month?
How to ensure that time spent in the factory is forlegitimate tasks only?
7/30/2019 mcs -by dr sharad joshi
122/130
Solution to Troston Case In order to ensure that unauthorized persons do not enter, it is
necessary that a supervisor who knows the employees is present nearthe gate. To ensure that employees do not swipe cards of friends,supervision is necessary. Introduction of biometric identification (thruthumb impression or iris scanning) will help in overcoming both these
problems. However attention is still necessary to prevent entry ofunauthorized individuals. Overtime should always be authorized by immediate superior and
endorsed by Production Planning Dept. Before signing the payroll, the Chief Accountant should reconcile
current months total employee strength = prev. months figure +Employees added during the month employees left during the month.The latter two should be reported by Personnel Dept. every month.
There should be several time recording machines inside the factory torecord start time and end time of jobs, which are to be punched by theworkers. Total time spent on various jobs by a worker should matchwith total time spent computed as difference between in and outtimes.
