Security Guard Timesheet Template
A timesheet that captures meal periods and post codes does two jobs at once: it pays people correctly and it tells you which contracts are actually profitable.
Built for PPO owners, payroll admins, and officers logging hours across multiple posts. · Updated 2026-08-01
PPO #122730How to use it
- 1.One sheet per officer per week; officers record time as it happens, not from memory on Friday.
- 2.Log the post or client code on every line so labor cost can be traced back to the contract.
- 3.Record meal and rest period start and end times — this is the line item that causes wage claims.
- 4.Officer signs, supervisor approves, then payroll enters. No unsigned sheet gets paid.
- 5.Reconcile against the published schedule and the DARs before running payroll.
