Morphology
The meaning 'a sheet for recording working time' is directly compositional from 'time' (the hours worked) + 'sheet' (a piece of paper/form), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the function. This is a common noun–noun compound in workplace contexts and parallels exist in many languages, making it clearly transparent rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
Time sheet comes from the simple image of people writing how much time they worked on a sheet of paper. That's why it means 'a record of the hours someone worked'.
