How to make a timesheet in three steps.

  1. Step 1: Set the period

    Start from a preset or a blank page, add the worker and the client or manager, and rename the date labels to Week starting and Week ending.

  2. Step 2: Log the hours

    Add a row for each day or task, rename Qty to Hours, and turn price and amount on only if you bill for the time.

  3. Step 3: Approve and download

    Add Submitted by and Approved by lines, choose a style, and download the PDF with Pro.

What a timesheet includes.

Every template covers these for you. Fill in the fields and nothing important gets left out.

  • Who and when

    The person whose time is recorded, the client or manager, and the period covered, using date labels you rename.

  • A reference

    A timesheet number or project reference, so the hours can be matched to payroll or an invoice.

  • Hours by day or task

    One row per day or task with the hours worked, in a column renamed from Qty to Hours.

  • Rates and totals, if billed

    Rate and amount columns with totals and tax for billable time, or none of them for internal records.

  • Project details

    Detail fields such as Project, Site, Department or Employee ID, added as label and value rows.

  • Approval

    Submitted by and Approved by signature lines to confirm the hours are correct.

Questions, answered.

What is a timesheet?

A timesheet is a record of the hours someone worked over a period, broken down by day, task or project. It is used for payroll, client billing and tracking time on jobs.

What should a timesheet include?

The worker's name, the period covered, the hours for each day or task, the project or client, and an approval signature. Contractors who bill by the hour usually add a rate and a total.

How does a timesheet relate to an invoice?

A timesheet records the time, and an invoice asks for payment for it. Many contractors send the approved timesheet with an invoice made in the invoice generator.

Do employers have to keep timesheets?

Many countries require employers to keep records of hours worked, but what must be kept and for how long varies. Check with your local employment authority or an accountant.

Is the timesheet generator free?

Building and previewing a timesheet is free, with no sign-up. Downloading the PDF needs Pro at $11 a month or $110 a year, starting with a 14-day free trial and no card.

Can I show hours without any pay rates?

Yes. Turn off the price and amount columns and hide totals and tax, and the timesheet shows only days, tasks and hours.
