Description

Contracted hours, what’s actually logged, what’s left for the month, and who covers the client when you’re out. All of it matters, and none of it has a natural home. It lives in scattered invoices, a mental estimate, or nowhere at all, not because anyone dropped it, but because there was never a single place built to hold it.

This sheet gives it one. An hours log tracks contracted, year-to-date, and remaining hours against a monthly, weekly, and daily breakdown, so a shortfall shows up while there’s still time to act on it instead of at invoicing. The Backup Coverage Plan does the same for absences: who covers what, for how long, and what a client should expect to notice, worked out ahead of time instead of assembled the morning of.

It’s a living reference, not a one-time form. An empty coverage plan isn’t a missed step, it’s a gap with nothing built to catch it yet.
