Track hours and bill them

Use the timesheet for payroll totals, then move the same hours into a freelancer, contractor, or consulting invoice when the work is billed to a client.

Handle overtime correctly

The workbook applies an overtime multiplier you control, so the calculation follows your local rule instead of a fixed rate baked into the file.

Keep the pay period consistent

Save one file per week or pay period and keep a copy of the totals. Consistent periods make payroll review and client billing much easier.
