What is a Timesheet?

A timesheet is a document that tracks the time of employees at work. It records the time from when the employee reaches the office till they leave the premises.

In simple terms, a Timesheet is a document that calculates the hours spent by an employee on the job or a particular project. Mostly, businesses that pay hourly use timesheets for payroll purposes.

Previously, when computers were not so common and very few businesses could afford them, manual timesheets were used.

As technology advanced and computers became common, now businesses use spreadsheet templates. These templates consist of predefined formulas and thus the calculations are automated. This saves many man-hours.

Nowadays, in this technocratic world,  software, online time-tracking apps, and biometrics have taken over the spreadsheet templates.

Yet, as all businesses cannot afford these expensive technologies. Thus, many SMEs still use spreadsheets as they are free and easily customizable.

Types of Timesheets

Basically, there are 4 types of timesheets. Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, and Monthly.

Daily Timesheet

A daily timesheet records employee in and out times for a single day. At the end of the day, such daily timesheets are submitted to the payroll for punching into the system.

Usually, when there are multiple departments, it is hard to track. Thus, such daily timesheets are issued to department heads to handle a group of employees. Later on, based on company payroll policy, payments are calculated and paid.

Weekly Timesheet

A weekly timesheet records employee in and out times for a given week. Usually, the week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday.

Generally, Sundays are considered as overtime except when employees have other day-offs during the week. Businesses that pay hourly and pay weekly use Weekly timesheets for payroll purposes.

Bi-Weekly Timesheet

Bi-Weekly timesheets are similar to weekly timesheets. The only difference is that they record data for two weeks. Generally, overtime rules are applicable as per the company policy or as per the defined government norms.

Businesses that pay hourly and pay twice a month use Bi-Weekly timesheets for payroll purposes. Bi-Weekly means every 15 days.

Monthly Timesheet

A monthly timesheet is a document that records reporting time and leaving time of employees for a whole month. At the end of the month, the payroll officer calculates the hours and pays the employee accordingly.

Businesses that pay hourly and pay monthly use Monthly Timesheet for payroll purposes.

Components of Timesheet Template

All timesheets have 4 sections: Shift Information section, Time Recording section, Hourly Summary Section, and Payslip Generator.

Let us understand each section in detail.

Shift Information Section

The header section consists of the Company name and title of the sheet.

Shift Information Section consists of the following:

Date
Shift
Normal Working Hours
Normal Pay Rate (Day/Night)
Overtime Rate

Insert the date and select the shift. Insert normal working hours. Usually, normal working hours are 8. Some companies exclude/include breaks in working hours.

For example, in the US working hours are including breaks. Hence, a total of 8 hours a day. Whereas if the breaks hours are excluded, then insert adding the break time. That is 9 hours.

Generally, Pay rates are different based on shift. Hence, enter the pay rate for day and night separately. If that’s not the case, insert the same pay rate in both.

The Overtime Pay rate is 1.5 times the shift pay rate. For example, if the day shift pay rate is $20 then the overtime pay rate will be $30/hr. This cell consists of predefined formula and hence it is auto-calculated. This section is similar in all the timesheets.

Time Recording section

This section consists of the following columns:

Date
Day
Employee ID
Employee Name
In Time
Out Time

Insert the date and the template fetches weekdays automatically. Enter Employee ID and Employee Name. This information is recurring and is to be entered only once unless there is a change in the workforce.

Record in & out timings of the employee on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis as per your requirement.

Pay Calculation Section

Your data input is complete here. All the remaining cells consist of predefined formulas and are auto-populated. Pay Calculation Section consists of the following columns:

Total Hours
Standard Pay
OT Hours
Overtime Pay
Total Pay

Total Hours are calculated based on in and our time using for each day using the HOUR Function. This column uses the following formula:

=HOUR(E12-D12)

For weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly calculations of hours, each day’s out-time is subtracted from in-time. Hence, to calculate total hours for weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly will be summed up for 7, 14, 31 days respectively.

To calculate overtime, the total hours are subtracted from normal hours. Hence, the formula used here is:

=F12-$D$9

To calculate Normal pay, subtract OT hours from total hours. The formula here will be applicable based on the shift selected.

=IF($D$8=”Day”,(F12-I12)*$J$7,(F12-I12)*$J$8)

If you have selected Day shift, it will multiply the difference with the day shift pay rate otherwise it will multiply with the night shift pay rate.

Moreover, the template evaluates the Overtime pay based on shift selection. As explained above in the shift information section, the overtime rate changes based on shift.

Thus, it will multiply overtime hours with the respective overtime rates. The cell uses the following formula:

=I12*$J$9

To derive Total Pay, the formula adds the normal pay and the overtime pay. Hence, the formula used here is as follows:

=H12+J12

Payslip Generator

Once you have finished inserting data, click on the “Payslip” button at the top to go to Payslip Generator. Select the employee ID from the dropdown list and the template fetches data of the respective employee from the sheet.

Insert the applicable allowance and deductions to the employee and your payslip is ready to print.
