After doing a detailed review, The Operation Research (OR) department found that there are many employees writing “Misc – Thinking, Innovation and Capacity Development (Usage Code – 420)” as the heading in their Daily Time Sheet (DTS).

The Manager – OR sent an email to all employee to elaborate it further. The email looks as follows.
