Timesheet

How to use the Timesheet

1. Add the team member and choose the week you want to record.
2. Enter each start time, finish time and unpaid break against the correct day.
3. Add the hourly rate and overtime rule used by the business.
4. Review the normal hours, overtime hours and estimated pay before saving or sharing the record.
5. Keep approved weekly records with the relevant payroll and job information.

Why use this tool

• Keeps daily hours in one consistent format instead of scattered messages and paper notes.
• Shows weekly totals and overtime without repeating the arithmetic for every person.
• Provides a clear record for checking wages, labour allocation and customer job costs.
• Makes missing days or incomplete break information easier to spot before payroll is prepared.

A useful timesheet records more than a single weekly total. The dates, worker, start and finish times, unpaid breaks, job or location and approving person should be clear enough to resolve a question later. Agree how travel, overtime, call-outs and rounded time are handled before the first entry is made, then apply the same rule consistently. The calculated pay is an estimate based on the rates entered; payroll, tax, pension, holiday and employment-law treatment still need to follow the worker's contract and the business's payroll process. Review and approve records promptly while the work is still fresh, and restrict access because timesheets contain personal and commercial information.
