One sheet per job
Whoever is on site opens it — not one sheet per person.
job sheet app for subcontractors
Small trade teams and subcontractors
Two to ten people on the tools, invoicing main contractors or private customers.
How does Day Worksheet work for small trade teams and subcontractors?
Day Worksheet is a job sheet app for small trade teams and subcontractors. One sheet holds several operatives, each with their own trade, hours and rate; CIS and VAT are applied on the invoice from your business profile; and every document carries your logo and colours so the paperwork looks like the business rather than a text message.
What usually goes wrong
- Everyone records their hours differently and the office rebuilds them on Sunday
- Invoices to main contractors get held up for want of a signed sheet
- CIS is worked out by hand and does not match the contractor's statement
- Documents look inconsistent depending on who sent them
What you end up with
- Several operatives on one job sheet with their own hours and rate
- CIS handled on the invoice where it applies
- Branded documents so the paperwork looks like the business
- Invoices raised from the job rather than retyped
- Day work kept separate from priced work

Typical jobs
| Team size | Typical job sheets each month | Plan that usually fits |
|---|---|---|
| Sole trader, occasional site work | Up to 25 | Basic — £4.99 per month |
| Two or three on the tools | Up to 100 | Premium — £9.99 per month |
| Gang with several operatives per job | Up to 100 | Premium — multiple operatives on one sheet |
| Just assessing the app | A couple of records | Free — 2 job sheets in total, watermarked |
Any team putting more than one person on a job usually wants Premium for the sheet volume.
Questions
Can more than one person be on the same job sheet?
Yes. You add multiple operatives with different trades and rates to the labour on a single job, and the totals reflect each of them.
Does everyone need their own subscription?
A subscription covers the account that creates the job sheets. A team commonly records everyone's hours on one account rather than buying a licence per person.
Does it handle CIS deductions?
The app calculates CIS from the details you enter and your business profile settings. Check the deduction against your contractor statement before sending.
Will the documents carry our branding?
Yes. Business Profile settings hold your logo and brand colours, and job sheets and invoices are produced with them.
