A timesheet is a document that records the hours worked by an employee. In the skilled trades sector, the correct recording of work hours is crucial for the accurate accounting of wages and salaries. The timesheet serves as proof of the actual hours worked and can be used as evidence in the event of a dispute. There are various ways to record work hours, such as clocking in or clocking out electronically. The timesheet is also important for compliance with legal regulations on work hours. Accurate recording of working time enables efficient work planning and control as well as accurate costing of projects.
