DH Templates

Help with making an invoice?

My boss has asked me to create an invoice for him... I was hired on a service worker contract. I am on Microsoft office, and I have chosen a Service Invoice template. It has columns for Description, Hours, Rate, Amount. I am not sure what to write under description? Do I write in every day that I have worked so far? Thanks

1. He's not your boss. He's your client. A boss gives you a paycheck, withholds fica/mc and gives you a W-2. A client is asking you to invoice him. Yes, describe the work you did, the hours and give the date range. Keep copies for YOUR taxes. When he pays you, photocopy the check before you deposit it and keep it with your records.
2. You can write every day you worked or you can just write each week as a period. Like this... Week of 12/06/10 - 12/12/10 Put the total hours for this week in the "Hours" column. Put your hourly rate in the "Rate" column. Put the amount, which should be the Hours multiplied by the rate, in the "Amount" column. It's really up to you. Instead of putting the period in the description, you can put it in the top of the invoice where is says "For:" For: Week of 12/06/10 - 12/12/10 And in the description column put the work you performed for the company.
