Timesheet questions

What should a weekly timesheet include?

Record the person, week or date range, client or project, task, and time spent. Separate billable time from internal or other non-billable work. Review the entries against your client agreement before using them for an invoice.

How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?

Divide minutes by 60. Thirty minutes is 0.50 hours, so 6 hours 30 minutes is 6.50 hours, not 6.30. Keep the same time format throughout the timesheet.

Can every recorded hour go on an invoice?

No. Recorded time can include internal administration or other non-billable work. Use only the billable hours agreed with the client and apply the agreed rate. A timesheet records time; an invoice requests payment.
