Weekly timesheet template
Start time, finish time, break, total. A weekly sheet built this way fits on one page and can be checked in twenty seconds. That is why it survives in workshops, clinics and shops long after fancier versions are abandoned.
Right for hourly teams and anyone who bills nobody by project. If hours must be split between clients, use the project timesheet instead.

How to fill it in
- Write the dates in before you hand it out. A sheet with blank dates comes back with blank dates. It takes a minute to fill them.
- Subtract the break from the total. Decide once whether breaks are paid, write the rule at the top, and apply it every week.
- Two signatures, not one. The person signs that the hours are true. The supervisor signs that they saw them. Both lines matter later.
- Store the sheet somewhere you can find it. Keep it for as long as your own record-keeping rule says. That period is set by local law, so check yours.
Working hours per day come off the attendance record in PeopleMuster, alongside check-in, check-out and late minutes for the same date. What the attendance record holds.
Questions people ask about this letter
How many decimal places should the hours column use?
One is enough. Two invites arguments about six minutes and adds nothing you will ever act on.
Can one sheet cover two people?
Do not. Signatures belong to one person, and a shared sheet means one signature covering somebody else's hours.
Does a blank Saturday row need to be crossed out?
Yes, draw a line through it. An empty row reads as an oversight; a struck row reads as a day not worked.
