Enter a weekly timesheet in QuickBooks Online

Learn how to enter a weekly timesheet in QuickBooks Online.

With weekly timesheets, you can enter the total number of hours worked by your employee or vendor for the week.

If you need, you can also learn more about entering a single time activity sheet.

Weekly timesheets are non-posting transactions. This means they don't show on reports like Profit and Loss until you add them to a sale or expense. Without Payroll, timesheets only allow a single hourly rate. If you need to enter multiple hourly rates, set them up in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

Note: If you use QuickBooks Time, you'll track time a different way.
