What it really means

A record of the hours you worked, which you fill in (often weekly) so you can be paid correctly — essential for agency, hourly and shift jobs. Missing the timesheet deadline can delay your pay.

Chinese explanation

工时表（timesheet）：你填写的工作时长记录（常为每周），以便正确发薪——对中介工、计时工和轮班工尤其重要。错过工时表截止时间可能导致工资延发。

Example conversation

A：为什么上周的工资没发？ B：你交工时表了吗？中介是按那个付钱的。
