Fortnightly Employee Hours Log

Design notes

About this spreadsheet

Make each pay period easier to review with a fortnightly employee hours log designed for accurate, consistent recordkeeping. The structured layout gives teams a practical place to enter daily start and finish times, unpaid breaks, regular hours, overtime, leave, and attendance notes. It works equally well as a two week work hour tracker for a single employee or as a repeatable form across an entire department.

Inside, you will find a clear employee information area, dated daily entries, automatic-style totals, overtime fields, supervisor review space, and payroll sign-off sections. A compact summary view helps managers compare scheduled and recorded time before submitting figures for payment. The design can also serve as an employee shift and break log or a staff hours reconciliation template when records need to be checked against schedules.

Created for HR coordinators, payroll administrators, operations managers, team leaders, and small-business owners, this template balances detail with quick scanning. Its polished corporate style uses original illustrations and a restrained mix of blue, green, grey, white, and black. Customize labels, working days, hour categories, formulas, and approval fields, Excel, or Google Sheets. The landscape 16:9 format is also convenient for displaying payroll summaries in PowerPoint or Google Slides during internal reviews.

Perfect for: fortnightly payroll processing; employee shift reconciliation; overtime approval review; attendance record auditing; small-business hour tracking.
