Listed below are some of
the possible entries/explanations for Line J of a Form 3996. There are obviously many variables to be considered in providing
your estimate. The key factor to remember is that you are only providing an estimate. Try to make it
as realistic as possible and keep in mind that if you underestimate and cannot return by the agreed upon time, it will be
your responsibility to notify management from the road. If you do not, you may be subject to the discipline
charge of “use of unauthorized overtime” or the old standby “failure to follow instructions”. Protect
yourself by not making a decision that is management’s responsibility, always
give management the opportunity to make the decision and then follow the instructions as given.
