Google Sheets Timesheet Templates

Every timesheet in the library as a one-click Google Sheets copy — no download, no import, no file to email around. Click, make a copy, and the sheet lives in your own Drive with the formulas running: daily hours from clock times, the overtime split, gross pay from your rate. Fill it in from a phone at the end of a shift or share one copy with the whole crew.

Why Sheets for time tracking

The shared-sheet workflow.

Paper timesheets have one failure mode — they’re wherever you aren’t. A Sheets copy shared with the right two people turns the timesheet into a small system: the employee enters times as they happen, the manager watches the totals build, and on payday the numbers are already added, already legible, already backed up in Drive’s version history. That version history doubles as an audit trail — every edit, timestamped, attributable.

When the period closes, File → Download → PDFproduces the frozen copy for the payroll file, and next period starts from a fresh copy of the template. Two clicks of ceremony, and your records satisfy the FLSA’s two-year retention rule without a filing cabinet.

Frequently asked questions

How does the “Make a copy” flow actually work?
Each button above opens Google's copy page for that template. Click “Make a copy” and Google places a fully editable duplicate in your own Drive — formulas, formatting, and all. The original stays untouched on our side (it's read-only to the world), and your copy is completely yours: rename it, share it with your manager, make one per week. We never see your copy or your data; that's Google's mechanic, not ours.
Do I need a Google account, and is there any catch on your side?
You need a Google account because the copy has to save into somebody's Drive — that's Google's requirement, and any free Gmail account qualifies. On our side there is no catch: no signup with us, no watermark on the sheet, no trial that expires, no “premium version” with the formulas withheld. If you'd rather not involve Google at all, every card has a Download Excel button for the identical .xlsx.
Do the formulas work in the Google Sheets phone app?
Yes — the math runs server-side in Sheets, so entering a clock-out time on your phone updates the hours and pay totals the same as it would at a desktop. Entering times on a phone keyboard is honestly the clunkiest part: type them as 8:00 AM with the space, or set the sheet's locale time format once and use the keyboard's numeric row. A common crew pattern: employees enter times from phones during the week, the manager reviews totals from a laptop on Friday.
Should I make the copy in a personal or work Google account?
Whichever Drive should own the record — and it's worth deciding deliberately. If the timesheet is a payroll document for your employer, a work-account copy keeps it where the business controls retention when people leave. If you're a freelancer tracking billable hours across clients, your own account keeps your history yours. The one setup to avoid: the sole copy of a business's payroll records living in an employee's personal Drive.
