About UK timesheets
A timesheet records the hours worked by a contractor or employee over a set period. UK contractors working through an agency typically submit weekly timesheets which the client approves before an invoice is raised. Timesheets form part of the payment evidence trail and should be retained.
There is no statutory overtime rate in the UK — your contract determines whether and how overtime is paid. Time and a half (1.5×) is the most common rate for weekday overtime, with double time (2×) often applied on bank holidays.

What is a timesheet?
A timesheet records hours worked over a set period. Contractors and freelancers use timesheets to evidence hours worked so clients can approve and process payment. The timesheet acts as a record that work was performed and is often countersigned by the client before the contractor invoices.
Do UK contractors need timesheets?
This depends on the contract. Most contractors working through an agency will be required to submit weekly or monthly timesheets as a condition of payment. Contractors working through their own limited company typically combine timesheet submission with invoicing — the timesheet confirms hours, the invoice requests payment.
How is overtime calculated in the UK?
There is no statutory right to overtime pay beyond the National Minimum Wage. Overtime rates are set by individual contracts and typically fall into one of three categories:
Time and a half (1.5×) — the most common UK overtime rate
Double time (2×) — often applied on bank holidays or Sundays
Flat rate — some contracts pay the same rate for all hours
