Who this template is for
Employee Timesheet Form is built for HR, people ops and hiring managers who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record.
- HR, people ops and hiring managers working in human resources.
- Teams who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are candidates and employees — the form asks them 27 questions across 4 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 7 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Did you work any overtime this week?” is Yes, “Who authorised the overtime?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Did you work any overtime this week?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Total overtime hours”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Are you claiming any expenses?” is Yes, “Receipts” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Supervisor decision” is Approved with adjustment, “Reason for the adjustment” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Payroll disputes almost always come from the same gap: hours recorded in one place and approved in another. This timesheet closes it. The employee identifies themselves and the week ending date, then enters hours for each day of the week alongside unpaid break time, so gross and paid hours never get confused. If any overtime was worked, the form asks who authorised it and why, which is the question that surfaces weeks later. Jobs and cost codes can be captured per submission so hours can be recharged to a client or project rather than absorbed. Anyone who worked away from their usual site records the location and any mileage or expense they expect to be reimbursed, with receipts attached to the same submission. A declaration confirms the hours are accurate before the employee signs, and a supervisor section captures the approver's name, decision and any adjustment with a reason attached. What lands in payroll is a single, signed, approved record per person per week.

Change the week ending date default and reorder the day fields if your week starts on Sunday.
- 2
Add your cost codes
Turn the job field into a dropdown of live client or project codes so payroll never has to decode free text.
- 3
Route it to the approver
Send a notification to the supervisor on submit and let them complete the sign-off section before it reaches payroll.
- 4
Export for payroll
Filter submissions by week ending date and export the batch as CSV straight into your payroll import.
Mistakes to avoid

- Accepting overtime with no named authoriser.
- Letting employees submit and approve their own adjusted hours.

Frequently asked questions
Can employees submit daily instead of weekly?
Yes. Delete the six extra day fields, keep one date and one hours field, and submissions become a daily log you can total per week on export.
How does the supervisor approve it?
Route a notification to them on submit; they complete the sign-off block with a decision and, if adjusted, a required reason.
Does it calculate total hours?
Set a calculation on a read-only total field that sums the day fields and subtracts unpaid breaks, so the employee sees the figure before signing.
Can it handle multiple job codes in one week?
For split weeks, ask employees to submit one timesheet per job code — that keeps recharging clean and avoids a nested table nobody fills in properly.
