Using this template
A construction timesheet records the hours worked by a person on a site or job. Small contractors, subcontractors and site teams use it to support payroll, customer billing and job-cost reviews. Each entry should name the worker, work date, site or job, hours and any short note needed to explain travel, overtime, delay or a changed assignment. A consistent job reference makes it easier to connect labour time with the correct project.
Ask workers to record time close to the end of the shift and agree how breaks, travel and partial hours are handled. Supervisors should review unusual entries before they reach payroll or an invoice. Common mistakes include mixing several sites in one line, leaving the job unnamed, counting the same hours against two projects and altering an approved record without explaining why. This template provides an editable record and file downloads, but it does not calculate pay, employment status, tax, overtime entitlement or compliance with working-time and site rules. The contractor remains responsible for checking the final figures and retaining suitable evidence.
