Remote Work Timesheet

A remote work timesheet is for fully remote employees and contractors who do not come to an office. It records work blocks during the day, the tasks and deliverables in each block, the time zone and weekly hours, so managers can see effort and output across distributed teams.

Frequently asked questions

How do remote employees track time?+

Through a timesheet with work blocks and tasks, or a time-tracking tool, submitted weekly to the manager.

Why add time zone to a timesheet?+

It avoids confusion when team members work in different time zones or travel.

How is a remote timesheet different from a WFH sheet?+

A WFH sheet marks attendance on WFH days for office employees; a remote timesheet logs work blocks and deliverables for staff who are always remote.
