Time sheet – template and digital solution

A time sheet should be easy to fill in and easy to total up. Here's what a time-sheet template should contain – and why many workshops leave Excel for digital time tracking.

What is a time sheet?

A time sheet shows how an employee's working time was split – across jobs, presence and absence. It underpins payroll and, in the workshop, follow-up of time per build and service.

What a time-sheet template should contain

Per day and employee:

  • Date and employee
  • The job or customer the time relates to
  • Activity (work, presence, child-sick, absence)
  • Number of hours
  • Optional comment
  • Totals per week and month

From an Excel template to digital time tracking

An Excel template means manual totting up every month. In Fitout the employee logs time straight onto the right job, the system blocks impossible entries, and you close the month and export in one click.
