English translation: time sheet

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Stundenliste
English translation:time sheet
Entered by: Michael Kucharski

Law/Patents - Law (general)
German term or phrase: Stundenliste
This is a term from a "consultancy agreement" and here comes the context:

"Die AG verpflichtet sich, dem AN für seine Beratungsleistungen nach Vereinbarung und entsprechend einer vom AN zu führenden * Stundenliste *, welche von der AG gegenzuzeichnen ist, ein Honorar pro Mahntag von € 300,00 zu bezahlen."

Would "hourly list" be understandable to English speaking readers?

Thanks for any feedback!

Explanation:
I'm not so sure if this is really the correct term (hence the low confidence), but I'm pretty sure that "hourly list" is not correct - it makes me think of a list that is drawn up every hour.

I think this is just a list of the hours the attorney (or consultant) worked on the clients project. In many firms the lawyers have to keep a list of "billable hours."
