General Labor Invoice Template is a conveniently structured document that can be used to request payment for labor services or expenses that a Client must pay for. Oftentimes, such documentation is nearly mandatory by Clients who are also business entities and individuals who prefer to keep a close eye on their budgets. By keeping a template where the items necessary to pay a bill can be presented easily, you will be able to answer the needs of most Clients regarding their paperwork.

Step 1 – Acquire Your General Labor Invoice For Your Use
The invoice necessary to bill for general labor provided to your clients can be saved as an “Adobe PDF” document or it can be downloaded as a “Microsoft Word (.docx)” file. Both options are visible through either the downloadable links above or through the “PDF” and “Word” buttons presented.
Step 2 – Introduce The General Laborer As The Company Sending This Paperwork
The section introducing this document is devoted to identifying the General Laborer sending this bill. A noticeable display of his or her professional name should replace the phrasing “Company Name” in the text box at the top of this page. 
The blank lines bearing labels near the top of this page will make several requests for information that you must produce. We will focus on the legal business information necessary to contact and pay the General Laborer. Start by inputting the General Laborer’s full “Name” on the first blank line. 
Supply the General Laborer’s “Street Address” on the second blank line, saving the “City, State, Country” for the third blank line, and using the next line below these to finish this address with its “Zip Code.” Present the General Laborer’s “Phone” number on the fifth blank line of the header. As an added convenience to the Customer, enter the “E-Mail” address of the General Laborer on the final blank line of this section.
Step 3 – Deliver The General Labor Invoice Number Attached To This Bill
A common item on most, if not all, invoices is the number used to identify it. This “Invoice #” should be the next piece of information reported on this document. Look for the shaded bar with the blank line designated as “Invoice #” then supply this number as its content. 
The invoice “Date” used for this paperwork will name a specific calendar date when the invoice number above and the contents of the document it is attached to will apply to the Client receiving it. Furnish this calendar “Date” across the page from the invoice number it applies to.
Step 4 – Assign This Invoice To Your Client’s Account
The next area of focus is titled “Bill To” and refers to the Client who hired and will pay for the general labor provided. The first empty line here will be “Name” and requires you generate the Client’s full “Name” on it. 
The mailing address used by the General Laborer’s Customer is needed on the next three blank lines. Notice that each of the next three lines will be designated with the components making up an address. This will promote an easy to read display of the General Laborer’s mailing address. Satisfy each line with its requested material.
Step 5 – Describe And Price The General Labor Supplied
The table in the center of the invoice will seek a “Description” of the General Laborer’s provided services or work hours. This table is labeled with two column headings and three field labels. Start in the box under “Description” by giving a detail of the tasks required to complete the job or the date range spent working on it. 
Present a tally the billable “Hours” for the projects you named or the date range requiring compensation in the second column.
The amount of money the General Laborer is to be paid for one hour of work must be solidified in the third column (labeled “Hourly Rate”).
The last column, bearing the “Amount” label, has been set to present all the figures involved with this request for payment. First, we must calculate the base charge for the General Laborer’s work by multiplying the number of “Hours” he or she worked by the amount of money he or she expects per hour (“Hours” x “Hourly Rate”). The resulting figure must be recorded in the first box under the word “Amount.”
Report the “Amount” owed as one sum in the “Subtotal” box. Oftentimes, the Customer will not need to submit any tax payments with this invoice for the “Subtotal” amount, however, if this is the case, then such sums must be documented separately in the “Tax” field. Note, if supplying information to “Tax,” it must be the tax dollar amount (not the percentage) that must be displayed. The “Total” below these two boxes will expect that you report the result of “Subtotal” plus “Tax” to its contents. This will be the final “Total” that must be paid.
Step 6 – Finalize This Invoice With Some Instruction
The last part of this invoice will contain two additional items. The first, a brief statement starting with the word “Payment,” is a tool you can use to request the payment be submitted within a certain number of days or you will consider it late. You must enter the number of days on the blank line in this statement in order to apply it to the general labor charges above. 
If additional content must be produced for the benefit of the Client then it is encouraged to provide it on the blank lines at the bottom of this page. If more room is required, then either insert additional lines using the editing software you are working with or cite an attachment that will be included with this document.

Step 1 – Acquire The Excel Template On This Page To Bill For General Labor
A button labeled “Excel” under the preview image will grant the opportunity to save the invoice needed to request payment for general labor that has been supplied.
Step 2 – Document The General Laborer’s Business Information
The logo used by the General Laborer for his or her business should be attached to this sheet at the top of the page. Thus, locate cell A1 then upload the appropriate image file to its contents. 
Cell A2 and cell A3 expect some complimentary information supplied with the logo. Record the General Laborer’s “Company Name” in cell A2 then his or her full “Name” in cell A3. This document will also require the General Laborer’s business address. Cells A4, A5, and A6 expect to receive this information on a line by line basis. This means the building number and street name of the General Laborer’s mailing address should be placed down several cells starting with his or her building, street, and suite number in cell A4. Next, furnish his or her “City, State” and “Country” to cell A5. The final address item is the “Zip Code” which must be entered in cell A6. After making sure the mailing address is properly displayed with the General Laborer’s identity, we should dispense two more standard contact items. Document the business “E-Mail” address the General Laborer prefers for contact in cell A7. Lastly, record the General Laborer’s business number in cell A8.
Step 3 – Name The Client Who Is Responsible For Payment
An important section in this invoice is the “Bill To” section. Here, the Party this document will hold responsible for its payment must be named below these words. Identify the General Laborer’s Client in cell A11. 
You will also be called upon to include the mailing address where the General Laborer’s Client expects to receive business mail. To accomplish this goal, fill in the “Street Address,” “City, State, Country,” and “Zip Code” as requested in cells A12 through A14.
Step 4 – Deliver The Invoice Number And Its Applicable Date
Invoicing the General Laborer’s Customer will necessitate being able to identify the paperwork being used. Therefore, locate cell F4, delete the current text populating it, and report the “Invoice #” in this field. The adjacent one, cell H4, contains a default “Date” for this invoice. This should be the same calendar “Date” you are working on this (according to your computer clock) however, you may change this to a more fitting “Date” for this invoice.
Step 5 – A Defintive Report On the Provided Labor Is Required
Cell A17 of this sheet is available to present a “Description” of the job the General Laborer worked on. You must use this area to discuss a set of projects or record the date range from the timesheet. The material you supply here is at your discretion and should contain recognizable terms for the benefit of the Client. 
The next cell of this table (F17) requests some documentation as to how many “Hours” the General Laborer worked for the Client. Input this information accordingly. Deliver the General Laborer’s “Hourly Rate” in cell G17. Once you provide this, cell H17 will display the product of the General Laborer’s “Hours” multiplied with his or her “Hourly Rate” as the “Amount” owed for this job. You should re-enter the total of all charges in cell H18 as the “Subtotal” for the General Laborer’s invoice. Take note that up until now we have not been asked to report any amounts with taxes included. Cell H19 requests the exact amount of money that the General Laborer’s Client must pay in taxes generated as its contents. If no taxes will be owed for the “Amount” being billed then you may leave cell H19 blank or enter “0.00” The final cell in the “Amount” column (cell H20) is now set to present the “Total” the Client must pay for the labor provided. This must be the sum of cells H18 and H19.
Step 6 – Deliver The General Laborer’s Instructions And Comments
Most Clients will understand that submitting payment in a timely manner is expected, however, as a precautionary measure, a statement in cell A21 will plainly state that payment received after a certain number of days would be considered late. This statement, however, is currently incomplete and cannot be applied. If you wish to incorporate it to this bill then delete the “#” sign and substitute it with the maximum number of days the General Laborer will accept payment without assessing a late penalty to the Client’s account. 
If you wish to include more payment instructions or any comments/information deemed necessary to secure payment then, you may take advantage of the space after the words “Comments Or Special Instructions” in cell A22.
