Weekly Timesheet
Record a week's hours on one page, including what the time was spent on, so hours can be approved and costed from the same sheet.
Category
The records a small employer actually needs: hours, leave, rotas, reviews, training and the two checklists that make starting and leaving orderly.
Employment rules differ by country, by state or province, and often by sector and employer size. Nothing in this category states an entitlement, a rate, a minimum, a maximum or a notice period, and nothing here is employment advice or claims to satisfy any authority. These are blank records for holding what happened. The disciplinary end of employment is deliberately absent: a blank form invites an inexperienced employer to run a process they should be taking proper advice on, and the cost of getting that wrong falls on the employee.
Record a week's hours on one page, including what the time was spent on, so hours can be approved and costed from the same sheet.
Keep track of time off in lieu that has been earned but not yet taken, which is the part that gets forgotten and then argued about.
Keep one page per person showing what leave was requested, approved and actually taken, with the balance visible to both sides.
Get a week's cover onto one page where the whole team can see it, so the gaps show up before the week starts.
Record days missed and time lost the same way for everybody, factually, without the sheet reaching any conclusion about it.
Get somebody started properly, with the checks, paperwork, safety induction and equipment handled as a list rather than remembered in pieces.
Close somebody's employment down tidily, so keys, kit, accounts and the handover are all dealt with rather than discovered months later.
Give a regular short conversation some continuity, by starting from what was agreed last time instead of from a blank page.
Record a supervision session so both people agree afterwards what was discussed and what was agreed.
Hold a yearly review that is about the work rather than about a score, with the employee's own comments recorded on the form.
See at a glance who has been trained in what and which squares are blank, across a whole team on a single page.
Record that somebody was actually watched doing the task, rather than that they attended a course about it.
Have somebody to telephone when something happens at work, before you need it.
Handle leave requests the same way every time, and keep a record of what was decided and why.
See a month of attendance for a whole team on one page instead of in thirty separate places.

Visitor sign-in pages and key registers — who is in the building, who let them in, and what has not come back.
Per-fill fuel and cost records, kept unit-neutral so the same sheet works wherever you buy fuel and whatever your odometer reads in.
Kit checks, expiry dates and restocking — dated on paper and signed by whoever actually did them.

What is on the shelf, how much of it you want there, and what needs reordering before the recipe stops.
What seed you actually have, whether it still germinates, and what the plot really produced.
The dated, initialled rounds that show a space was actually attended to rather than merely meant to be.

Records for a working kitchen — what a dish costs, what was made from which batch, what was checked, cleaned and thrown away.
Two sheets for going somewhere: a packing list you write once and reuse, and a road trip planned day by day.
We are building this library out steadily. Leave an address and we will send the new sheets as they are finished — nothing else, and no more than one email a week.
Sign-up is not live yet — we have not connected an email provider, so this form is switched off rather than quietly collecting addresses.
