How often should timesheets be submitted?

Weekly is the most common cadence because it balances accurate recall against admin overhead. The week-ending date field anchors every submission to the correct pay period.

Can we split hours across multiple projects?

Yes. Duplicate the project-hours fields for each project or client, or ask employees to list them in the notes area. For heavy multi-project tracking, submit one form per project per week.

Does this work for remote and field staff?

Yes. The form is mobile-friendly and can be filled from anywhere, and submissions arrive with timestamps so nothing depends on office presence.
