Freelance Timesheets

You will need to complete timesheets on a weekly basis in accordance with your contract rate (either hourly or daily).

If you work an hourly rate, then enter the number of hours worked for each day.  If you work a daily rate, then enter 1 for each day you have worked (in accordance with the agreed number of days in your contract).

In relation to any overtime worked, please express any additional hours or days to the nearest 15 minutes (hourly rate) or .25 (quarter of a day) or multiples thereof.

Timesheets (example 1):

Daily rate contract (standard day equalling 8 hours, unless stated otherwise in a contract).

You complete an extra 2 hours on 1 day, then you will express this on the timesheet as "days worked" = 1 (always the case for a standard day being completed), overtime = 0.25 (where 0.25 equates to 2 hours, on an 8 hour day contract).

Example 2:
Hourly rate contract (standard day equalling 8 hours)

You complete an extra 2 hours, then you will express this on the timesheet as "hours worked" = 8 (always the case for a standard day being completed), overtime = 2 hours.

Timesheet signatory
You need to get your line manager or other designated signatory to sign every timesheet on a weekly basis. You must keep one copy (yellow copy) of the timesheet (or forward to your Limited company), your employer keeps one copy (pink copy), and all other copies (white and blue copy) must be returned to Project Resource. Failure to do this may result in delays to payments.
