What this sheet is for
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.
Who it is for
Small employers, agencies, subcontractors, casual and shift workers, and anyone billing a client for time.
How to use it
- Fill it in daily. A week reconstructed on Friday is an estimate.
- Record the break as well as start and finish — that is where disputes start.
- Put the job or cost code against each day if the hours will be recharged.
- Both sign it at the end of the week.
- Keep the signed copy; how long for depends on where you are.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A week of hours on one sheet: start, finish, break and what the time was spent on, totalled by day.
No rates or entitlements are printed here. Entitlements, rates, records you must keep and how long you must keep them differ by country and often by sector. This sheet states none of them and is not employment advice — check what applies where you are.
Write-on lines: Name · Role or department · Week beginning · Week ending
Table, 8 rows: Day · Date · Start · Break · Finish · Hours · Job, site or cost code · What was done
Write-on lines: Total hours · Of which overtime · Absence or leave taken · Expenses claimed separately
Signature strip: Signed · Approved by · Date
Questions
Does this calculate pay?
No. It records hours. It prints no rates, no overtime multiplier and no entitlement, because all of those differ by country, sector and contract.
