How to import it

  1. Download the .xlsx.
  2. Upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets.
  3. Enter the week-ending date, the tasks and the hours.
  4. Check the total hours and total due; the formulas update.
  5. Share the sheet for approval or download a PDF and get a signature.

Hours and rounding

Enter 0.25 for 15 minutes and 0.5 for 30 minutes. Round each entry, not the weekly total, and state the rule on the sheet. Do not bill breaks you were not working through or travel time the contract does not allow.

Sharing and approval

Share “Commenter” access if the client only needs to review. For a signature, export a PDF and use the approval line. Keep the approved copy with the invoice it supports.

FAQ

Do the formulas work in Google Sheets?

Yes. The amount, total hours and total due formulas carry over from the XLSX.

Can the client edit the sheet?

Only if you give Editor access. Use Commenter or a PDF for approval so the hours cannot be changed silently.

How do I print it?

File → Print, Letter, portrait, fit to width. Check the print area after import.

Is the timesheet legally required?

No federal rule requires an independent contractor to keep a timesheet; a signed sheet is evidence of what was agreed.
