Timesheets

Timesheet math is where payroll goes wrong: minutes converted to decimals, unpaid breaks, and above all overtime, which federal law computes per workweek and never averages across a pay period. These sheets do that arithmetic live as you type, including the per-week split on the biweekly sheet that most templates get wrong.

Start With the Weekly TimesheetOne workweek is the only unit federal overtime law recognizes, so the weekly sheet is the safe default even when you pay every two weeks.

Timesheets by the numbers

4	generators in this category, each researched separately
8	distinct fields across them, 4.5 on the average generator

20	researched notes on these pages, with 13 answered questions

Four generators, 8 distinct fields between them, and 4 day grids averaging 4.3 columns. Almost nothing here is about the form. The difficulty is arithmetic the paper has to get right: minutes into decimals, unpaid breaks out of the total, and overtime computed inside each workweek rather than across the pay period.
