How to use the daily site sheet
Start the day
The foreman writes the date, project, site address and their own name at the top.
List the crew
One line per person: name, trade, start, end and break in minutes.
Note the work
Write what was done or the cost code, so hours land on the right part of the job.
Initial and sign
Each person initials their line; the foreman signs and sends the sheet to the office.
Why a daily sheet per site
On construction sites the question is often not only how long someone worked but where and on what. A sheet per site per day answers both. The office can book hours to the right project and cost code, and the foreman has a record of who was on site that day.
The sheet has twelve blank lines for the crew, with name, trade or role, start, end, break, hours, work done or cost code and an initials column. There is room for the foreman's signature and, if needed, the client or main contractor.
Tips from the site
Fill the sheet in at the end of the day, not on Friday for the whole week. Let everyone initial their own line: it avoids discussions later. Use the 24-hour clock and record breaks in minutes, and check the statutory break rules for long days. Keep the sheet out of the rain: a clipboard in the van or site cabin works better than a pocket.
When an app is the better choice
Daily sheets get wet, lost or stay in the van until the end of the month. A shared tablet kiosk in the site cabin lets each worker clock in and out with a personal PIN, without needing a work phone, and the hours reach the office the same day.
TimeTracking is free for up to 5 users. Core costs €1 and Pro €3 per user per month, with no add-ons and no seat minimum. People record hours on their phone or on a shared kiosk with a personal PIN, clients approve through a secure magic link with a one-time email code, and payroll gets a CSV or XLSX file (or the SD Worx format) instead of a stack of sheets to retype.
Frequently asked questions
Is a daily sheet better than a weekly one for construction?
When crews move between sites or work on several cost codes, yes. A weekly sheet per person is simpler when someone works on one site all week.
Why do workers initial their own line?
It confirms they agree with the hours recorded for them, which prevents disputes at payroll time.
Can I use the sheet for subcontractors?
Yes, to record who was on site and for how long. Pay and invoicing for subcontractors follow your contract with them.
