Daily timesheet template
Last checked against official sources: (dol.gov; dir.ca.gov)
One-day layout with six time entries for split shifts, jobs or tasks on a single date.
Enter each block of work as its own entry with clock-in, clock-out and unpaid break minutes, or type hours directly. The sheet totals the day, then you export it.
Who it's for: Day labourers, temps and freelancers who report hours per day, supervisors signing off a single shift, and anyone with a split shift.
How to fill it: Add the employee name and the date in the pay period field. Use one entry per block of work (for example 9:00–13:00 and 13:30–18:30). Leave unused entries blank.
Overtime: Federal overtime is based on hours over 40 in a workweek, so one day alone rarely shows federal overtime; carry the day total to your weekly sheet. Some states, such as California, also count overtime after 8 hours in a workday (and double time after 12); choose the daily rule to split hours over 8 for the day. Overtime calculator, California OT, and the timesheet calculator can split regular and OT from clock times.

FAQ

- Yes. HourPunch generates filled files in your browser—no account, no upload, and no paywall. Unlike many time trackers, export to Excel, PDF, and CSV is free. Download or print when you are ready to sign or share.
- What is a daily timesheet?
- A record of the hours one person worked on a single date: start and end times, unpaid breaks and the day’s total. This template gives six entries so split shifts fit on one sheet.
- How does the daily overtime rule work on this sheet?
- With the daily rule, the first 8 hours across all entries count as regular and anything above is overtime. For example, 9:00–13:00 plus 13:30–18:30 is 9.00 hours: 8.00 regular and 1.00 overtime.
- Should I use a daily or a weekly timesheet?
- Use daily when hours are approved or paid one day at a time. If your employer pays weekly overtime, the weekly timesheet template keeps the whole workweek on one page.
