Built for this kind of work.

Record time against a job or work order so a contractor’s hours can be reviewed alongside the work requested. This contractor timesheet keeps actual work intervals visible rather than hiding them inside a single labor total. Use the job reference consistently, and start another row when you move to a different assignment. Travel, standby time and site preparation should be described separately if they need different approval or billing treatment. The sheet does not decide employment status, contract terms or entitlement to payment. Keep receipts and materials in a separate expense record, then reconcile approved labor with the correct work order before preparing a bill.

What’s in the template

DateJob / work orderStartEndBreak (min)Hours

The blank form includes 16 entry rows and space to identify the person or team, reporting period and reviewer. Add rows in the editable files when your reporting period needs more detail.

How to use it

  1. Enter the contractor and reporting dates.
  2. Record the job or work-order reference.
  3. Add separate work intervals with unpaid breaks.
  4. Reconcile reviewed labor with the work order before billing.

Keep the record useful

  • Keep materials out of worked-hours totals.
  • Separate travel when its treatment differs.
  • Use a stable work-order reference.

These are recordkeeping tools, not payroll or legal advice. Confirm your own break, overtime, approval and billing rules. Do not include patient details, children's personal information or other sensitive information in general work notes.

Using it in Google Sheets

Download the Excel file, upload it to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. Check the imported formulas and time formats with a sample entry before relying on totals. For shared teams, set access deliberately and keep a clean master copy.

Template questions

Make it work
for your day.

Does using this sheet make someone an independent contractor?

No. A timesheet does not determine a worker’s legal classification or contract status.

Where should materials be recorded?

Use a separate expense or materials record. Do not add material costs to an hours column.

Can I record time across several job sites?

Yes. Identify the job on each row and separate travel or transfers when they require different review.
