It guides users on how to download and save the template, enter heading information such as name and department, and record daily work hours. The instructions emphasize the correct format for entering time (e.g., 8:00 AM) and highlight the importance of leaving a space between the time and AM/PM for proper calculation. It also explains how to interpret the timesheet, noting that weekly and biweekly totals should display numbers, and that a '#VALUE!' error indicates incorrect time entry, likely due to missing spaces. The document includes sample timesheet images illustrating correct usage and common errors.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/","Forms",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/timesheet-instructions/243018/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/timesheet-instructions/243018.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Pentious","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-14","2026-09-12",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",12,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the correct format for entering time into the timesheet?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Time should be entered in the format '8:00 AM', ensuring a space is placed between the time and AM or PM for accurate calculations.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"What does a '#VALUE!' error in the timesheet indicate?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"A '#VALUE!' error typically means time has been entered incorrectly, most often because the required space between the time and AM/PM is missing.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"Should I enter information in the day/date fields?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"No, you should not enter information in the day/date fields.
