Timesheet Templates are Outmoded - Use:
Why are timesheet templates bad?
Timesheet templates for Excel are outmoded, and not recommended.
At first, they seem like a viable way to track employee time.
They're simple to add up hours and print a weekly report, so what's
so bad about them? Timesheet templates for Excel
hurt you in the long run. Below are some reasons why.
Consider using our timesheet instead. It's just as simple, and
gives you more benefits. Download a

Simple Timesheet
Reporting (with timesheet templates)
You cannot report on the things you care about. Try running a
report for the month of October. How about showing only the
work done for XYZ client, or ABC project? What about showing
only billable verses non-billable time? With weekly timesheet
templates, you can't. You can't split up the Excel spreadsheet
easily enough to get the reports you want.
Sharing
Have you considered how you will share the Excel timesheets.
Its fine to start with a timesheet template, but how will you share
the final result? Since only one person can open and save to
the file at any given time, you lock everybody else out. The
more people you have, the worse this becomes.
Project and Client Analysis
Excel spreadsheets don't help when you try to analyze time spent on
projects and clients. You can't easily gather up all the hours
for each project and client, especially across multiple sheets.
How do you know how long projects take? How do you know what
the typical project duration is? How long did you work for
each client? Only a database can offer this.
Lost Hours
Here's a scenario few realize is happening: The bookkeeper
gathers up all the hours for a billing period and runs an invoice.
Soon after, an employee adds more hours to the date range.
Problem is, the bookkeeper doesn't know the hours were added and the
employee doesn't know the date range was already billed.
INSTANT LOST HOURS! Spreadsheets can't watch out for this
situation. Only software can.
Access
How do you access your timesheet from home? How about the
client office? Yes, you can start writing your timesheet with
a template, but how do you access the "main" timesheet where all the
time is stored? Our web timesheet offers that.
You can even use the browser on your PDA phone.
Expenses and Time Off
What if you have expenses for your work? How do you report
them? Does your timesheet template have a place for them?
How about time off, like vacation, sick, etc? You see, Excel
templates break down when you start considering all the other things
you need. This tool is the true solution to timesheet
templates.
