About this template

A timesheet submission form is the bridge between hours worked and hours paid. For staffing agencies managing dozens or hundreds of placed workers across multiple client sites, collecting timesheets manually — by email, text, or paper — creates a chaotic bottleneck every pay cycle. Submissions arrive in different formats, missing details, without supervisor confirmation, making payroll processing slower and more error-prone than it needs to be.

This timesheet template standardizes the entire process. Workers enter their hours day by day, confirm supervisor approval, identify their client site and worker ID, and include a brief work summary — all in a consistent, structured format. Your payroll team receives a clean, complete record for every worker, every week, with no chasing required.

formformform makes this form easy to share via text or email at the end of every work week. Workers complete it on any device in under two minutes. Every submission is logged in your dashboard and sent to your payroll inbox — no paper handling, no email archaeology, no formatting surprises.

Best practices for your timesheet submission form

Set a firm cutoff time and communicate it clearly

include the deadline in the paragraph text so workers know exactly when to submit and late submissions don't derail payroll runs.

Require supervisor approval before submission

the approval confirmation radio creates accountability and reduces disputes about hours after the fact.

Include the worker ID field and make it required

matching timesheet submissions to payroll records by name alone leads to errors; a unique ID eliminates ambiguity.

Ask for a brief work summary

even one or two sentences helps reconcile hours against project budgets and gives clients the documentation they need for billing approvals.

Export data weekly rather than monthly

smaller, regular exports are easier to reconcile with your payroll system and catch errors before they compound.

Send reminder texts on Sunday afternoon

most workers forget to submit until they're reminded; a brief link reminder cuts late submissions dramatically.

Frequently asked questions

Can workers submit partial timesheets if they worked fewer than five days?

Yes. Daily hours fields are not required, so workers can leave days at zero or blank. Only the core identification fields (name, worker ID, client company, week ending date) are required.

How do I export submissions for payroll processing?

Your formformform dashboard lets you export all submissions to a CSV file. You can filter by date range to pull only the current pay period and import the data directly into most payroll platforms.

Can I set up a separate timesheet form for different clients?

Yes. You can clone this template and pre-fill the client company field for each client, then share the client-specific link with workers at that site. This keeps submissions segmented by client from the start.

What if a supervisor needs to approve the timesheet before it's submitted?

The form includes a supervisor approval confirmation radio. For a more formal approval workflow, you can send your supervisor an email with the completed timesheet details and ask them to reply, creating an audit trail.

Is there a way to add a total hours calculated field?

formformform does not perform field calculations, but the daily breakdown makes it easy for your payroll team to sum hours in a spreadsheet after export.
