What is a Timesheet?
A timesheet is a document used to track the number of hours an employee or contractor has worked over a given period. Timesheets are essential for accurate payroll processing, client billing and project cost management.
Whether you need a simple weekly timesheet for hourly employees, a detailed daily time log for contractors, or a project-based template for tracking billable hours, timesheets help businesses stay organized and ensure everyone gets paid correctly.
Common use cases include:
Calculating payroll and overtime
Billing clients for work hours
Tracking time spent on projects and tasks
Meeting labor law record-keeping requirements
