Biweekly Timesheet
(screenshot)
Download this simple timesheet template for your small business. There are actually 4 separate versions of the timesheet, each on a separate worksheet tab. They include a weekly and biweekly version, as well as the options of using either decimal values or [h]:mm format for recording hours.
In this time sheet template, you can assign a separate pay rate for regular hours and overtime hours. Keep in mind that an overtime rate is usually only granted for hours worked beyond 40 hours per week. If all you need is a way to keep track of hours, you can just delete the rows that contain the wage and pay information.

How to Turn this Template into an Online Timesheet Solution
I designed this spreadsheet to work in Google Docs, so if you are looking for a web-based timesheet or online timesheet solution, here is a free solution to consider:
- Upload the timesheet to Google Docs (or use the version I've already added to the gallery here)
- Share the file with your employee
- Have your employee update the spreadsheet within Google Docs throughout the week
Note: It is a violation of copyright to share the timesheet publicly, or to add a copy to the Google Docs gallery, but sharing it with an employee is perfectly fine.
For Employers: The system you use to report and record the hours is up to you. It could involve printing a copy of the spreadsheet or having the employee export a copy of the completed timesheet and email it to you. Or, you could simply log into Google Docs, look at the completed time sheets, and record the hours in your payroll spreadsheet. The policy that I use is that after the timesheet has been reviewed, I save a copy (exported to an Excel file that I save on my computer), and then clear out the hours and update the date in the Week Of field. That is the signal to the employee that the timesheet is ready to be updated for the next pay period.

Timesheet Software for Multiple Employees and/or Projects
An employer normally needs to keep track of the hours worked for multiple employees. One of the simple (and free) ways to do that is to use our Payroll Spreadsheet in combination with the timesheet template.
