Construction timesheets exist to turn field labor into usable payroll, billing, and job-costing records. A crew member may spend Monday morning on excavation, Monday afternoon on concrete prep, and Tuesday on framing at another site. The timesheet needs more than a daily total. It needs the worker, date, job or project, task, cost code, classification, and hours worked.
For U.S. employers covered by the FLSA, records for covered nonexempt workers must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The law does not require one specific form or software system, but the method must be complete and accurate. Payroll records must be kept for at least 3 years, while basic time and wage-computation records must be kept for at least 2 years.
Construction job costing depends on labor, materials, and overhead staying separate. Labor time should connect to jobs, phases, cost codes, and cost classes so project managers can compare actual labor against estimates. A clean entry might read: "Worker: Ana R., Job: Riverside remodel, Phase: framing, Cost code: rough framing, Classification: carpenter, Hours: 7.5."
That structure matters because a flat weekly total hides overruns. If 42 hours land under one project with no task detail, the project report cannot show whether excavation, concrete, framing, or drywall created the variance. Cost codes give field time a place in the budget, and classifications keep payroll review tied to the work performed.
Federal or federally assisted construction contracts covered by the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts require weekly certified payroll. Contractors and subcontractors must submit payroll information weekly with a signed Statement of Compliance confirming that the payroll is accurate and complete and that required prevailing wages were paid.
Form WH-347 is optional, but DOL states that a properly completed WH-347 satisfies certified-payroll reporting requirements under 29 CFR parts 3 and 5 for covered DBRA construction contracts. The underlying data needs worker classifications, daily hours, weekly hours, pay rates, gross wages, deductions, net wages, and fringe-benefit information. Missing classifications or daily hour detail create rework when payroll is due.
A one-off timesheet works for a small crew, a short job, or a simple weekly payroll handoff. It is enough when you only need clear dates, workers, job names, hours, and manager approval for the week. It stops being enough when projects run across phases, budgets, crews, subcontractor reporting, and certified-payroll review.
Everhour Project Budgeting gives construction teams a managed workflow when labor hours need to feed live project budgets. Projects can use hour-based or money-based budgets, one-time or recurring periods, threshold email alerts, budget protection, expense controls, multiple billing methods, and client-level budgets. That turns jobsite time from a weekly form into budget control.

A construction timesheet should include the worker, date, job or project, task or cost code, classification, daily hours, weekly total, and approval status. For covered nonexempt workers under the FLSA, employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Job and cost code detail makes the timesheet useful for construction job costing. Labor should connect to the project, phase, and cost code so actual hours can be compared with estimates. A weekly total alone can support basic payroll review, but it does not show which scope of work consumed the labor budget.
Certified payroll requires more structured worker-level detail for covered DBRA construction contracts. Weekly reporting uses classification, daily and weekly hours, rates of pay, gross amount earned, deductions, net wages, and fringe-benefit information. The timesheet should collect the fields needed before the weekly payroll report is prepared.
Construction travel time needs a careful work-time distinction. DOL has treated a foreman's required travel between the employer's place of business and a jobsite to retrieve and return a company truck as compensable work time. Laborers' ordinary home-to-jobsite commuting generally remained noncompensable in that opinion letter.
Covered employers may use any complete and accurate timekeeping method under the FLSA. Paper forms, spreadsheets, mobile entries, and time tracking software can work if the records capture required daily and weekly hours for covered nonexempt workers and preserve the records for the required period.
Everhour Project Budgeting tracks project budgets as crews log time and expenses. Construction teams can set hour-based or money-based budgets, use recurring budget periods, receive threshold alerts, and stop additional time logging after a budget is exceeded when budget protection is enabled.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person so managers can review time before payroll, billing, or reporting. Submitted and approved time is protected from edits, and managers can approve, reject, or partially approve entries when corrections are needed.
Track approved construction hours against jobs, cost codes, and budgets before payroll closes. Everhour connects field time to project budget visibility and cleaner labor-cost review.
