When the customer questions the bill

The weekly sheet totals the hours. The invoice still has to explain them.

A finished billing packet

One page a GC can follow: who was on site, how long, and what got done. Annotated to show why each part settles a question instead of starting one.

What's in the Weekly Electrician Timesheet?

Every column an electrical crew needs for accurate weekly time records with overtime tracking.

The template includes the following fields for each worker:

Worker Name -- who performed the work.
License # -- electrician license number for compliance.
Day columns (Mon-Sun) -- start time, end time, break, and daily hours for each day.
Daily hours -- hours worked that day, after the break is deducted.
Weekly Total -- sum of all daily hours.
OT Hours -- overtime hours over 8 per day or 40 per week.
Service Type -- residential, commercial, or industrial.
Job / Work Order -- which project to bill hours against.
Notes -- work description, material pickups, change orders.
Supervisor -- named once in the header block, so the sheet says who verified the week.

The daily, weekly, and overtime columns are typed in — a CSV holds values, not formulas. The FAQ below has the three formulas to paste if you want the sheet to add itself up. If you need to track job costing or cost codes, add extra columns to fit your workflow.

How to Use This Template

Four steps from download to weekly payroll.

Download the template -- grab the Excel file above or open it directly in Google Sheets. Print it if your crew prefers paper.
Customize your job list -- replace the sample project names with your active jobs. Add your company name and electrician license numbers.
Distribute weekly on Monday -- email the spreadsheet, share via Google Drive, or hand out printed copies at the start of each week.
Collect Friday -- gather completed timesheets every Friday. Review for missing entries, unsigned rows, and overtime flags before submitting to payroll.

When to Switch to Digital

Spreadsheets work for small crews. They break as you grow.

When your crew hits 10+ workers across multiple job sites, paper timesheets create problems. Workers forget to fill them out. Overtime calculations get missed. A single lost timecard costs an average of $500 in unbilled labor.

Digital time tracking solves these problems with mobile clock-in, automatic overtime calculations, and QuickBooks sync. Hours come off the job site on a phone, and one click on the Time page sends them to your books without re-typing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the construction timesheet?

This template is pre-formatted for a weekly view with daily columns (Mon-Sun), a Weekly Total and OT Hours column, and electrician-specific fields like license number and service type.

Does it calculate overtime automatically?

No. The file is a CSV, so every number in it is typed in — the sample rows show what a filled-in week looks like. To make it compute once you open it in Excel or Google Sheets: in Mon Hours (H7) put =(F7-E7)*24-G7/60 and copy it across the other six day columns, in Weekly Total (AE7) put =SUM(H7,L7,P7,T7,X7,AA7,AD7), and in OT Hours (AF7) put =MAX(0,AE7-40). Then drag the row down.

Can I use this for multiple workers?

Yes, duplicate the weekly tab for each worker. For crews over 10, consider digital tracking where overtime calculates automatically.

What electrician-specific fields are included?

License number, work order reference, a Notes column, and a Service Type column with rough-in, trim-out, service call, panel swap, fire alarm, low voltage, and T&M listed in the instructions.

Is there a mobile version?

Spreadsheets don't work well on phones. For mobile time tracking, try FieldTimesheet's one-tap clock-in.

Skip the Spreadsheet. Track Time the Easy Way.
