Explore all featuresFree electrician timesheet template for electrical contractors and their crews. Track hours by permit and circuit, split rough-in versus trim-out, and keep regular and overtime hours separate for accurate certified payroll and job costing.
This free electrician timesheet template includes 12 fields built for how electrical work actually gets tracked — by permit, by classification, and by the phase of the install.

Electrical work rarely stays on one job for a whole week. A crew might rough-in a house on Monday, chase a service call Tuesday, and be back on a commercial fit-out by Thursday — each tied to a different permit. If those hours all land in one weekly total, you lose the ability to tie labor back to the permit it belongs to, which is exactly what inspectors and general contractors expect you to be able to show.
This electrician timesheet template records the permit and job number, the circuit or panel worked on, and splits rough-in hours from trim-out hours. That phase-level detail is where electrical estimates most often miss — and seeing it on the sheet tells you whether a job overran during rough-in or during finish.
On prevailing-wage and certified-payroll jobs, the sheet also carries each worker's classification — apprentice, journeyman, or master — and their rate, so hours are costed and reported correctly and your journeyman-to-apprentice ratio is documented. Regular and overtime hours stay in separate columns for clean time-and-a-half math, and a master electrician approval at the bottom verifies the week before payroll runs.
Classification, rate, permit, and daily regular/OT hours are captured at the source, so filling out a WH-347 or state certified-payroll form is a transcription job, not a reconstruction.
Because every row carries a permit number and splits rough-in from trim-out, labor rolls up into a true cost per panel, per circuit, and per permit — the data you need to bid the next job.
License number, inspection sign-off, and master-electrician approval are pre-defined fields, so your crew captures the compliance details every time instead of remembering them on Friday.
This template is a great starting point. But RevoField automates the entire process — from dispatch to permit tracking to payment — so your electricians never touch a paper form again.

Here is one week filled out for a journeyman electrician working across two permits. Notice the permit number and phase (rough-in vs trim) on every row — that is what lets you report certified payroll and cost the job by phase instead of guessing.

These are the tracking slip-ups that quietly cost electrical contractors money — in failed certified-payroll audits, blown job estimates, and wage disputes.
Electricians move between jobs, so a single permit at the top of the sheet mislabels the hours that belong to a service call or a second permit. Put the permit and job number on every row so labor ties back to the work an inspector actually signed off on.
If rough-in and finish hours are lumped together, you never learn which phase blew the estimate. Splitting them is how you find out a job was fine at rough-in but lost money in trim — and fix your bid on the next one.
On prevailing-wage jobs, hours with no apprentice/journeyman/master classification can't be reported on certified payroll and can't prove your apprenticeship ratio. Record the classification and rate on every sheet, not once on the crew list.
Public-works and union jobs often add daily OT and premium days that a single weekly total hides. Keep regular and OT separate by day and require a master-electrician sign-off — it is what protects you in a wage claim or a labor audit.
On prevailing-wage and public-works jobs you must report each worker's classification, hours, and wage rate to the awarding agency, usually on a weekly WH-347 or a state equivalent. This template captures the fields those forms need at the source: worker classification (apprentice, journeyman, or master), the permit or job number, and regular versus overtime hours per day. Recording that breakdown daily instead of reconstructing it at week's end is what keeps certified payroll accurate and audit-ready, because your reported hours will match the hours the general contractor and inspector saw on site.
Each classification bills and costs at a different rate, and on apprenticeship-ratio jobs you also have to prove the required journeyman-to-apprentice ratio was maintained. This template has a classification field and a rate field on every sheet so an apprentice's hours never get costed or billed at a journeyman rate by mistake. Keeping the classifications on separate rows also gives you the documentation to show a labor auditor or your training committee that apprentices worked under proper supervision for the hours claimed.
Put the permit number and job number on every row rather than once at the top of the sheet, because most electricians touch more than one job in a week and inspectors tie their sign-offs to a specific permit. This template's Permit / Job # field lets you allocate each block of hours to the work it belongs to, so rough-in labor on permit A and a service call on permit B never blur together. That row-level detail is what lets you match labor to the permit for compliance and roll hours up into an accurate cost per job.
Most electrical work follows standard overtime rules — time-and-a-half past 40 hours in a week, and in some states past 8 hours in a day — but public-works and union jobs often add daily overtime, Saturday, and Sunday premium rates set by the wage determination or CBA. This template keeps regular and overtime hours in separate columns for every day so those premiums are calculated on the right hours, not buried in a single weekly total. Logging OT by day also protects you in a wage dispute, since you can show exactly which days ran long and on which permit.
Take the hours logged against each permit or job number, multiply them by the loaded rate for that worker's classification, and apply the overtime rate to any OT hours separately before adding them together. Because this template splits rough-in versus trim-out hours, you can also see whether a job's labor overran during rough-in or during finish and trim, which is where estimates on electrical work most often miss. Doing this consistently across every job gives you the real cost per panel, per circuit, and per permit so you can bid the next job from data instead of a guess.
