What to write down
The date, the time you started, the time you finished, and any unpaid break. A short note about where you were or what you did makes the record much harder to argue with months later.
Write it the same day if you can. A log filled in as you go reads differently from one written all at once afterwards, and that difference matters if the hours are ever questioned. There are notes on doing this for work with a family, several clients at once, and when an EVV app loses a shift.
Why keep your own record
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, employers covered by it are required to keep accurate records of hours worked for non-exempt employees. Keeping your own copy costs you nothing and means you are not relying on somebody else's.
Your own log is also simply useful: it tells you what you actually worked in a week, which is hard to reconstruct from memory once a month has passed.
Other tools worth knowing about
The US Department of Labor publishes its own free Timesheet App for iOS and Android, available in English and Spanish. If you want something that lives on your phone and tracks continuously, that is a good option and we would rather tell you than pretend it does not exist.
This page is for the times you want a printed record now, without installing anything or making an account. If you bill clients rather than work for a wage, the free invoice generator turns the same hours into an invoice.
What this page is not
It is not legal advice, and it does not make a claim on your behalf. It produces a document you wrote. If you are in a dispute about unpaid wages, talk to your state labor office or an employment lawyer, who can tell you what applies to your situation.
Nothing you type here is uploaded. The log is saved in this browser so it survives closing the tab, which also means it is on this device only. Print or save the PDF if you need a copy that lasts.
