Free job timesheet template: what to track before the spreadsheet gets messy
A job timesheet template can help if you are just getting organized. HourFlow is the easier next step when the spreadsheet starts slowing the business down.
Templates work until real jobs get complicated
A spreadsheet can record client, job, start time, stop time, breaks, and notes. The trouble starts when people forget to fill it out, send updates late, or use different formats.
How HourFlow helps
HourFlow keeps the same practical fields closer to the work. Instead of rebuilding a timesheet after the day is over, users track time from the phone as jobs happen.
Example workflow
A contractor using a sheet might need columns for date, client, job name, task, start time, stop time, total hours, billable status, and notes. HourFlow turns that idea into a mobile workflow.
