Depends on the relationship you have with them. Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that and that's exactly what I would say. "Sorry PM, I understand there may be reasons why you're asking me to do this but from an ethical standpoint I really don't feel comfortable inflating my hours. If you need me to log more hours then I can find something else to do but I'm not going to lie on my timesheets and risk my job." At that point any argument they have with you is jeopardizing their livelihood and if they continue to try and pressure you to be dishonest then you have every right to go to HR or their direct supervisor and report them. Good luck.
Have a private meeting with them and explain why you won’t be doing it. Keep it simple and to the point and go from there. Personally I try to keep track of all my time, and it has always helped me more than it hurt! If they aren’t responsive to your reasoning, it may be time to escalate the matter to someone else.
Thanks all!
'I'm not ghosting hours, happy to talk to jump on a call with you and my MD.' Have yet to have someone take me up on that offer
If you work on the same project all week it's normal to charge your contract hours rather than actuals.
Op what is your situation?
