    Your timesheet is meant to be an accurate record of the chargeable hours worked that week. If you only claimed 40 hours, that's all you can expect to be paid for.
    You can't put in a timesheet for this week in respect of work carried out a month ago; that's fraud.

    ... but at the end of the contract all work done must be paid.
    Is there a procedure for correcting old timesheets? Can you change your old 40-hour timesheets to show the correct number of hours worked in those weeks? Would the client sign them off?

    I will split invoices to per project and all hours per project make less than 10k therefore I can take all projects small court individually.
    When you get to court you'll need to be able to prove that you worked the extra hours and that you had an agreement with the client that they would pay any excess hours at a later date.
    Meanwhile, the client will present your timesheets from that period where you've declared that you have worked 40 hours a week and they will say they've paid on that basis.

    No, you are not an employee with employment rights etc. Your company agreed to be paid inline with the signed off timesheets. Your timesheet states you did 40 hours, you were paid 40 hours.

    contractually,  I was required to deliver minimum 40 hours of work. So I was able to work anything and anywhere so far I was able to deliver 40 hours of minimum work or was available 40 hours minimum for their work.

    booking 40 hours per week as a mutual cooperation I was able to make on line manager's request. But actual hours spent were way more as work instructions kept coming in.

    I completed the instructed work and I have all proofs. I will organise invoices per project and that will be less than 10k, therefore I can log multiple claims within small court. I can log multiple claims with court, I have checked.

    just to update
    i logged first case and it was against two invoices which were approved but held alongside with invoices which i am pursuing now. 
    so within first case the hearing took place in person with arbitrator who heard the arguments and then recorded it and ask me and my contract agency (not the end client who's being the actual problem).. the agency guy (my contractual client) started blaming my personality that i defended. then arbitrator asked us both to get ready for hearing. but before the final hearing the x2 invoices were paid.

    for the other larger invoices, my client asked me to contact end client's legal department, which i declined as i did not understand the motives. my client asked initially asked me to wait so he speaks to end client then came back with instructions to contact legal department and then conversations went cyclic about this issue.. then i had to log in case number 2 and now i am waiting to hear from court
