How to fill in a timesheet
- Enter the start and end time for each day you worked, and the minutes of unpaid break. Leave days off empty.
- Add your hourly rate and how overtime works where you are.
- See the hours for each day, the week’s total in hours and minutes and as a decimal, and your pay.
Hours and minutes to decimal hours
Decimal hours = hours + minutes ÷ 60
7 hours 45 minutes is 7 + 45 ÷ 60 = 7.75 hours. Payroll systems usually want decimal hours.

Frequently asked questions
How do I enter a night shift?
Enter the times as they are, such as 22:00 to 06:00. When the end is earlier than the start, the shift is counted as running past midnight.
How is overtime worked out?
Choose daily (hours over a set number each day) or weekly (hours over a set number in the week, 40 by default). Overtime hours are paid at the rate times the multiplier, such as 1.5 for time and a half.
Should I include unpaid breaks?
Yes: enter the minutes of unpaid break for each day and they're taken off. Leave it at 0 if your breaks are paid.
Can I print or save my timesheet?
Yes. Use Print or save PDF under the results for a clean copy, or Copy link to keep this week's times in a bookmark.
