Download a CSV for Excel or Google Sheets
The blank timesheet CSV has the same columns for two weeks. It is a plain CSV file, not an .xlsx workbook, so it has no formulas built in. After you open it, format the time columns as Time and put this formula in the Hours column of row 6, then copy it down:
=(MOD(D6-C6,1)+MOD(G6-F6,1))*24-E6/60
MOD(…,1) handles shifts that cross midnight, and E6/60 takes off the unpaid break in minutes. The result is decimal hours, so 8.5 means 8 hours 30 minutes.
What a timesheet should include
- Employee name, ID and the week or pay period dates
- The date of each day, with start and end times
- Unpaid lunch or meal break minutes (paid short breaks stay in the hours)
- A second in/out for split shifts
- Daily hours and a weekly total split into regular and overtime hours
- Notes, and employee and supervisor signatures if approval is needed
Timesheet vs time card
A time card records clock-in and clock-out times for each shift. A timesheet can also log hours by project or client. The blank sheets here work as either. For decimal conversions while you fill one in, keep the minutes to decimal chart next to it, or total the week with the weekly hours calculator.
FAQ
What is the difference between a timesheet and a time card?
A time card records the clock-in and clock-out times for each shift, often for hourly workers. A timesheet is broader: it can log hours by day, project or client, and is common for salaried staff and contractors. Many people use the terms interchangeably, and this template works for both.
What should a weekly timesheet include?
Include the employee's name, the week or pay period, the date for each day, start and end times, unpaid breaks, daily hours, and weekly totals split into regular and overtime hours. Add space for notes and for employee and supervisor signatures if your employer needs approval before payroll.
