Timesheet Template
Accurately track hours, overtime, and pay so every employee gets paid correctly.
About the Timesheet Template
This weekly timesheet template streamlines employee time tracking and pay calculation. Designed for hourly workers and their managers, it captures daily start times, end times, and break hours for a full seven-day week, then automatically calculates regular hours, overtime hours, and total hours per day. The pay summary section computes regular pay, overtime pay at 1.5x the hourly rate, and total gross pay. Conditional formatting flags overtime and weekend work, while data validation ensures valid department selections, hourly rates, and break entries. Signature lines for employee and manager approval are included. Need to plan shifts before tracking hours? Start with the Work Schedule Template.
