Use the Weekly Punch Sheet (one sheet per employee per week, with signature lines) or the Daily Team Sheet (one row per employee, posted at the entrance or break room).
Clock in, lunch out, lunch in, clock out — entered as times. The total-hours column computes each day's hours from the punches automatically.
The weekly sheet sums the seven days and flags hours over 40 as overtime, so payroll knows exactly what to pay at 1.5x under the FLSA.
A paper or spreadsheet record of when each employee starts work, takes lunch, and finishes. It is the simplest form of time tracking: employees write their times, a supervisor initials them, and payroll uses the totals to calculate pay.
Yes, for non-exempt employees in the US. The FLSA requires employers to keep records of hours worked each day and each workweek, retained for at least two years (payroll records for three). A signed punch sheet satisfies the basic requirement.
Subtract clock-in from clock-out, then subtract the unpaid lunch break. This template does it for you: enter the four punch times and the formula returns decimal hours per day, weekly totals, and overtime over 40 hours.
Three things: employees can round times generously, someone can write a co-worker's times in for them (buddy punching), and payroll has to re-type everything. Studies consistently show manual timekeeping loses employers several percent of payroll to time theft and errors.
A time clock app or device that stamps the real time automatically. ClockIt does this from a phone, a web kiosk, or a biometric terminal — punches can't be backdated, buddy punching is blocked with photo or fingerprint verification, and timesheets export payroll-ready.
