Timesheet Register

The Timesheet Register or Time Management Log helps you to:

• List the activities completed by staff during the week
• Record the time spent completing those activities
• Determine the outcome of those activities
• Check that Timesheets were filled-in
• Ensure that all time spent was approved

You can also use this time management template to:

• Calculate the total amount of effort spent by your team

By recording all timesheet information in a time management log, you can constantly monitor and control the activities of staff within your team. You will be able to identify time management issues early and make sure that your team is always able to meet their objectives as planned.
