Timesheet Template

A timesheet is the sheet a small business fills in by hand for the person who does not clock in on a screen: the studio assistant, the weekend help, the contractor on a day rate, the volunteer whose hours are counted for a grant. Most printable ones are a spreadsheet with the gridlines turned on. This one is drawn to be written on and signed: a row a day with boxes big enough for a pen, a total row, and lines for two signatures at the foot.

The page reads top to bottom. Your business and the title at the top, the name, the role or project, and the week at the right. Then seven rows, one a day, with In, Out, Break, Hours and a Notes column; the break and the notes columns come off with a switch when the week does not need them, and the columns that are left widen. A total row at the foot with the box that matters outlined. Then three lines: the employee, whoever approves it, and the date.

Dated or undated is a switch. Undated prints the day names and a blank line for the week, so one sheet lasts a year of Mondays. Turn Dated on, pick any day of the week, and the sheet writes the date under each day and the span at the top. The week starts on Monday or Sunday.

The arithmetic is left to the pen on purpose. A timesheet is a record of what happened, filled in at the end of each day and added up at the end of the week. A sheet that filled the hours in for you would be guessing. What the sheet does hold you to is the fit: the names and the business have limits, and the customizer refuses one that runs into the margin.

Print it at 100%, not fit to page, on plain copier paper; the light-ink theme is there for the stack printed every Monday. The free version is this design with the sample business, undated, in the Ledger theme, on Letter, with a small credit line at the foot. The paid version carries your business, the name and the role, the dates, all six themes, and comes back in Letter and A4 from one purchase, with a link that works for a year.
