Timesheet Form Template

Collect weekly hours from your team without chasing spreadsheets — one shareable timesheet that captures days, projects, and approvals in a single submission.

A weekly timesheet form built for teams that bill by the hour or run on project budgets. Employees log start and end times by day, tag work to projects, attach expense receipts, and sign off — and the data lands in Google Sheets or HubSpot ready for payroll.

Why use a timesheet form?

Friday afternoon rolls around and 8 of every 10 emails to HR are "what's the link for the timesheet again?" The other 2 are corrections from last week. Somewhere in the spreadsheet, a contractor logged 47 hours in a 5-day column and nobody caught it until payroll ran. A digital timesheet form fixes the messy parts of weekly time tracking — collection, validation, and approval — without forcing your team into a heavy HRIS. Employees open one link on their phone, fill in hours by day, tag projects, upload a receipt if they spent money on the company card, and sign. The data is structured the moment it's submitted, so payroll isn't copy-pasting from email threads at 5pm. It scales from a 6-person agency tracking billable hours to a 40-person field crew logging job-site time across multiple clients. Categories like Regular Hours, Overtime, PTO, and Project Code map to how finance actually slices the numbers — and because every submission is timestamped, you have an audit trail that holds up if a client disputes an invoice.

Key features of this timesheet form template

Everything you need to launch this form in minutes, share it with your team, and collect submissions reliably.

1

Day-by-day hour capture

Separate number fields for each weekday keep totals clean and make it obvious when someone logs 14 hours on a Tuesday by mistake.

2

Project tagging built in

A project dropdown lets you slice hours by client or job code at payroll time, instead of guessing from notes.

3

Receipt attachments

Employees can upload a photo of a fuel receipt or parking ticket alongside their hours, so expenses and time sit together in one submission.

4

Signature for sign-off

Every timesheet ends with an e-signature field that acts as the employee's attestation — useful for audits and client disputes.

5

Manager email routing

The manager email field can trigger a notification so approvals stop getting lost between Slack DMs and inboxes.

6

Mobile-first layout

Field crews and remote workers fill it from their phone in under 2 minutes — no app install, no login wall.

Perfect for

Agencies billing clients by the hour, construction and field-service teams tracking job-site time, HR managers running weekly payroll for hourly staff, contractors and freelancers submitting hours to multiple clients, operations leads at restaurants and retail stores, and finance teams that need clean project-tagged data without a full HRIS rollout.

Ways to use this template

Agency billable-hour tracking

Designers and developers log hours against each client project every Friday. Finance pulls the Google Sheet on Monday morning and invoices go out the same day instead of mid-week.

Field crew time logging

A construction supervisor sends one timesheet link to a 20-person crew. Each worker fills it on their phone at end of shift, complete with site address and signature — no paper sheets to lose in a truck.

Remote contractor invoicing

Freelancers on retainer submit weekly hours to a client through the same form they were onboarded with. The client gets a clean record and the contractor has a timestamped audit trail.

Restaurant shift reconciliation

Managers use it to capture actual hours worked vs scheduled, including tips reported, so payroll matches the POS data without manual reconciliation.

Nonprofit volunteer hour tracking

Volunteers log hours toward grant-reporting requirements. The signature field doubles as the volunteer's attestation, and the data feeds the annual report.

PTO and sick-leave logging

Smaller teams without an HRIS use the same form for time off — the PTO checkbox and notes field give HR enough structure to keep balances accurate.

Workflow integrations

Connect this form to your existing tools with no middleware. Every submission triggers your workflow automatically.

Why choose Flexform?

Most timesheet tools force you into a system: a per-seat HRIS, a clunky punch-clock app, or a spreadsheet template that breaks the moment someone adds a column. FlexForm sits in the middle — a real form your team fills on their phone, with the data structure of a database behind it. Customization is where it stops feeling like a template. If your finance lead wants a project-code field instead of a free-text project, you describe what you want changed in plain English and the AI editor updates the form. Add a new department, swap PTO for "vacation," split overtime into weekday vs weekend rates — none of that needs a developer. When a submission comes in, it can land in Google Sheets for the payroll spreadsheet, ping the manager in Slack for approval, or sync to HubSpot if you're tracking billable hours against a client deal. For teams running native mobile apps, FlexForm ships a Kotlin Multiplatform SDK so you can embed the same timesheet inside your Android and iOS apps with one codebase. For everyone else, the share link works without any account or install on the employee's side, and the whole thing runs on a free forever plan — so a 5-person agency pays nothing to track every hour their team works.

Frequently asked questions

Can employees submit a timesheet from their phone?

Yes — the form is mobile-first and works in any phone browser without an app install. Most field crews fill theirs in under 2 minutes at the end of the week, including the signature field.

How do approvals work?

The manager email field can trigger a notification when a timesheet is submitted, and managers review the entry in Google Sheets or directly in the FlexForm dashboard. For tighter workflows, you can connect a Slack channel so every submission posts there for visual sign-off.

Can I customize the fields for my pay periods?

Absolutely. Use the AI editor to describe the change — "switch from a 5-day week to a 14-day bi-weekly period" or "add a separate row for weekend overtime" — and the form updates without any manual rebuilding. Project lists, department dropdowns, and rate categories all work the same way.

Does it handle overtime and PTO correctly?

The template includes a separate overtime number field and a PTO/sick-leave checkbox with a notes area. For more complex policies, you can add custom dropdowns for different leave types or split overtime into weekday and weekend rates.

Where does the data go after submission?

Submissions flow into Google Sheets for payroll, HubSpot if you track billable time against deals, or any system via webhook. You can also export submissions as CSV directly from the dashboard at any time.

Is the e-signature legally binding for payroll attestation?

Yes — the signature is captured with a timestamp and stored alongside the submission, which is the same standard most payroll providers accept for hourly-employee sign-off. For higher-compliance industries, pair it with the receipt upload field so attached documents are part of the audit record.

Can we embed the timesheet inside our own mobile app?

Yes. FlexForm provides a Kotlin Multiplatform SDK so the same timesheet form runs natively inside your Android and iOS apps without rebuilding the UI twice.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — the free forever plan covers the full timesheet template, mobile submissions, and the share link. You only move to a paid plan if you need higher submission volumes, advanced integrations, or removal of FlexForm branding.
