What a timesheet contains
- One row per employee and one column per day of the month.
- A status for each day: present, late, left early, absent, leave, holiday or no shift.
- Totals: days worked, hours worked, and the day count payroll needs.
Produced by hand or by rule
Filled in by hand, a timesheet records somebody's recollection. Produced from clocking records and shift rules, it records what the system observed. The second kind survives being questioned.
