Limitations of Manual Timesheets
Spreadsheet timesheets are a good starting point, but they come with significant drawbacks that cost teams real money.
Inaccurate time entries
Employees often round their hours up or fill in timesheets from memory at the end of the week, leading to 5-15% inaccuracy.
Forgotten entries
It is easy to forget to log hours, especially during busy days. Missed entries mean lost billable hours and revenue leakage.
No automatic categorization
Even with a project column, you have to remember which tasks belong to which client. Automatic tracking categorizes your work in real time without manual entry.
Administrative overhead
Managers spend hours each week reviewing, correcting, and approving timesheets. Automatic tracking eliminates this busywork.
Who This Template Is For
This free timesheet template is designed for anyone who needs to record hours worked and submit them for payroll or client billing.
Employees submitting weekly timesheets
Fill in your start time, end time, and breaks each day. The template calculates your total hours and gross pay automatically, then exports to CSV for payroll or your manager.
Contractors tracking billable hours by project
Use the project column to tag each row with a client or project name. When you download the CSV, your hours are already sorted by project — ready for invoicing.
Managers reviewing team hours
Have each team member fill out and download their timesheet, then review the CSVs side by side. For teams larger than five, consider automatic tracking to eliminate the review step entirely.
Skip the Template
Let Rize track time automatically. It runs silently in the background and categorizes your hours by project and client, so you never fill out another timesheet again.
