- Have payroll verify the workweek, regular rate, breaks, exemptions, and any state rule.
- Keep the approved timesheet and documented corrections with the payroll record.

Deadlines
The rules, with the source
| What | Deadline | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Daily hours | end − start − unpaid break | never below zero |
| Regular hours | the smaller of total hours and the editable threshold | default threshold: 40 |
| Overtime hours | total hours − threshold, never below zero | weekly calculation |
| Estimated gross | regular hours × rate + overtime hours × rate × multiplier | verify the regular rate |
The 40-hour threshold and 1.5× multiplier are editable federal defaults for many covered nonexempt employees. Exemptions, special rules and more protective state or local standards may apply.

Questions
Is the timesheet template free?
Yes. Fill it in and download the Excel workbook without paying or signing up.
Does federal overtime always start after eight hours in a day?
The general federal rule shown here is after 40 hours in a workweek for covered nonexempt employees. Some states or agreements add daily or other overtime rules.
Does weekend work automatically mean overtime?
Not under the general federal rule by itself. Weekly hours and the applicable law or agreement matter.
Can I use 1.5 times the listed hourly rate for everyone?
Not automatically. Payroll must verify coverage, exemption and the regular rate, including remuneration that the law requires to be included.
Is this a payroll system?
No. It is a recordkeeping and arithmetic aid. Payroll must verify taxes, deductions, pay rules and the final amount.
