A practical Turkey timesheet records each employee's workday, start and end times, breaks, project or department, regular hours, extra-hours work, overtime, approvals, and notes for corrections. Turkish Labour Law No. 4857 sets the general weekly working-time cap at 45 hours unless a lower contractual schedule applies, so the weekly total cannot be an afterthought.
Use the timesheet as a working record, not a month-end guess. A manager reviewing Friday's totals should see whether the employee stayed within the agreed schedule, crossed 45 hours, or approached the annual overtime cap of 270 hours. Payroll then has a documented basis for ordinary pay, 25% extra-hours premiums, and 50% overtime premiums.
Turkey treats two common time categories differently. If an employee's agreed weekly schedule is below 45 hours, time above that agreed schedule and up to 45 hours is extra-hours work paid with a 25% premium. Work exceeding 45 hours in a week is overtime and is paid at the employee's hourly rate plus 50%.
A clear timesheet keeps those lines separate. For example, an employee contracted for 40 weekly hours who works 47 hours has 5 extra hours and 2 overtime hours. Combining all 7 hours under one "overtime" label creates a payroll error and makes later review harder for HR, finance, and the employee.
Daily detail matters because Turkish rules also set a daily working-time limit of 11 hours when work is distributed unevenly across workdays. The timesheet should show the actual work span and rest breaks, not only the paid total. Minimum rest breaks are 15 minutes for work of 4 hours or less, 30 minutes for work over 4 and up to 7.5 hours, and 1 hour for work over 7.5 hours.
Break records prevent inflated working-time totals and help managers spot schedules that need correction before they repeat. A shift from 09:00 to 18:00 with a 1-hour break is 8 working hours, not 9. A timesheet that stores the break separately makes that distinction visible and keeps the weekly total cleaner.
A free timesheet is enough for a single weekly record, a small team, or a payroll check that only needs hours, breaks, premiums, and approvals in one place. A managed workflow becomes necessary when the same hours also drive project budgets, client invoices, department reports, or payroll handoff every month.
Everhour Project Budgeting fits that longer workflow by tracking time and money budgets as people log hours. Teams can use one-time or recurring budgets, set 75%, 90%, 100%, or custom email alerts, and apply budget protection when extra time should stop before a project exceeds its limit.

Yes. Turkey has domestic labour-law rules requiring employers to track and document employees' working time. This requirement comes from Turkey's own legal framework, rather than the EU CJEU working-time-recording rule. A usable record should show daily work time, breaks, weekly totals, approval status, and corrections.
The timesheet should separate extra-hours work from overtime. Hours above an agreed weekly schedule below 45 hours and up to 45 hours receive a 25% premium. Hours above 45 in the week are overtime and receive the employee's hourly rate plus 50%. One blended premium column creates avoidable payroll confusion.
The record should show the work span, break duration, and net working time for each day. Turkish minimum rest breaks are 15 minutes for work of 4 hours or less, 30 minutes for work over 4 and up to 7.5 hours, and 1 hour for work over 7.5 hours. Separate break fields keep paid and worked time clear.
Biometric attendance tracking needs extreme caution in Turkey. On April 29, 2026, the Turkish Data Protection Board decided that biometric data processing for attendance tracking does not satisfy proportionality where less intrusive alternatives can be used, including PIN, password card, RFID/NFC card, signature, paper attendance sheets, or supervised manual entry.
Payroll, billing, and labor-cost reporting for Turkey should use Turkish lira amounts, commonly shown with TL or ₺. A timesheet that connects hours to pay rates, project costs, or client billing should keep the currency consistent so finance does not translate local labor records into a second reporting format later.
Everhour Project Budgeting tracks hour-based and money-based budgets as employees log time against projects. A Turkey team can monitor recurring work, client limits, and internal labor spend in Turkish lira reporting workflows, then use budget alerts at 75%, 90%, 100%, or custom thresholds before overruns reach payroll or billing review.
Everhour Timesheets let employees submit weekly project hours or working hours for manager review. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and approved time stays locked for regular members, which gives payroll a cleaner record before ordinary hours, extra-hours work, and overtime are reviewed.
Use Everhour Project Budgeting to connect tracked hours with recurring budget limits, alerts, and billing decisions, so approved timesheets become usable project and payroll data in Everhour.
