Weekly Timesheet & Billable Hours Form

A weekly timesheet template for agencies — submit billable and non-billable hours against clients and jobs so recharges stay accurate.

Description

You can’t understand agency profitability without knowing where the hours go. This weekly timesheet and billable hours template gives staff a quick way to log their week against jobs, and gives you the data to bill accurately and spot where time is really being spent.

Staff set the week ending and their team, then log hours by job in a simple table — the client or job code, the type of work (billable, non-billable, new business, admin or leave) and the hours. It captures the weekly total, a read on how the billable split looks, any overtime to flag, notes for the line manager and who approves it.

Ideal for agencies, studios and consultancies that bill by time. Use it to track billable versus non-billable hours, feed accurate data into client billing, and give managers a clear weekly picture. Customize the teams and work types, add your branding, and embed it internally or share a link in minutes.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Weekly Timesheet & Billable Hours Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a weekly timesheet form?

A weekly timesheet form lets staff log the hours they worked against each job in a week, split by type — billable, non-billable, new business or admin — so an agency can bill accurately and understand where time goes.

What should a billable hours timesheet include?

The week ending, the person’s team, a breakdown of hours by client or job code and work type, the weekly total, any overtime to flag, and who approves the timesheet. That’s enough to feed both client billing and utilization reporting from a single weekly submission.

Why split billable and non-billable hours?

Because it’s the foundation of agency profitability. Knowing how much time is genuinely billable versus internal or admin shows where money is made and lost, which clients are worth the effort, and whether the team is over- or under-utilized — none of which guesswork can tell you.

How often should timesheets be submitted?

Usually weekly, while the week is still fresh and hours are easy to remember accurately. This template is built around a weekly cycle with a week-ending date — leaving timesheets until month-end is how billable hours get under-recorded and revenue quietly leaks away.

Who approves a timesheet?

Usually the person’s line manager, who reviews the hours for accuracy before they feed into client billing and utilization reporting. The form captures the approving manager, so there’s a clear check between what’s logged and what actually gets invoiced.

Is this timesheet template free and customizable?

Completely free. Edit the teams and work types to match how you track time, restyle it, and embed it internally or share a link in minutes. No coding needed — just a free Fun Forms account to collect responses.
