Event staff timesheet and correction template
A rota shows planned coverage; a timesheet captures what actually happened. This editable log separates original entries from corrections and makes approval visible. It is an operational record, not a complete payroll system or universal statement of labor law.

For each worker, use an authorized ID, event, role, site, local date and time zone, actual start and end, and any break as observed. Overnight shifts need dates on both sides. Do not pre-fill planned hours as worked or assume every break is unpaid; the payroll owner applies local rules and contract terms.[1][2]
Keep an audit trail for missed or disputed entries
When a clock-in is missed or a time is challenged, retain the original entry and note who requested the change, the evidence, reason, revised value and approval. Give the worker an opportunity to review the correction through the approved process. Avoid silently overwriting a value to match the rota or the supplier invoice.[1]
Separate site confirmation from payroll decisions
The on-site supervisor confirms attendance and task handoff; the supplier or employer and payroll owner review hours, rates, breaks and any applicable overtime under the actual arrangement. Send discrepancies to the responsible party before payroll or invoice approval. This template does not decide legal worker status or whether time is payable.[1][2]
Restrict access and close the record
Keep personal identifiers and pay details in the authorized personnel system, not a public operations sheet. Export the approved record with revision and approver, and follow the applicable retention and access rules. Compare the total with attendance and supplier records; document unresolved items rather than inventing missing time.[1][3]
