Remote Team Daily Time Log

Streamline Remote Team Time Tracking with Smart Daily Logs

Managing time across distributed teams shouldn't be complicated. This Remote Team Daily Time Log template gives remote workers, project managers, and agency teams a simple way to track billable hours, break down tasks by project, and assess daily productivity—all while handling the complexity of multiple timezones.

Whether you're running a distributed agency, managing freelancers across continents, or coordinating a fully remote team, accurate time tracking is essential for client billing, project profitability, and workload management. This template captures not just how long people work, but what they're working on and how effectively—giving you the data you need to make smarter resourcing decisions.

Built for remote-first teams

Unlike rigid punch-clock tools, this form is designed for the flexibility remote work demands. Team members log their work hours in their local timezone, while the form captures timezone data to keep everything consistent across regions. The project and task breakdown fields let you see exactly where time is being spent, whether it's client work, internal projects, meetings, or admin tasks.

The built-in productivity self-assessment helps surface patterns over time: are certain days consistently more productive? Are meetings eating into deep work time? This qualitative layer turns raw time data into actionable insights for both individuals and managers.

Perfect for agencies, consultancies, and distributed teams

If you're billing clients by the hour, this template ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Capture billable versus non-billable time, tag work to specific clients or projects, and add notes for context that makes invoicing and reporting seamless later. For professional services firms, consultancies, marketing agencies, and software development teams, this form becomes the single source of truth for time worked.

Project managers can use daily time logs to spot bottlenecks, redistribute workload, and forecast capacity more accurately. And because it's Paperform, you can connect submissions directly to tools like Google Sheets, Airtable, or your project management platform—no manual data entry required.
