Use this page to organize time records for Australian teams whose project work is managed in Asana. The practical outcome is a clean set of task-level entries: person, task, project, date, duration, notes, billable status, and approval state. Those fields let a manager review hours before billing, budget checks, reporting, or payroll review without rebuilding the week from messages and calendar guesses.
The workflow starts at the task, because the task carries the work context. A team member starts a timer or adds manual time on the Asana task, then the time layer preserves project names, task titles, custom fields, tags, and comments for reporting. The review process should catch missing dates, vague notes, open timers, and entries placed on the wrong project before totals move downstream.
A defensible time entry needs more than a duration. Record the logged date, duration in minutes, task, attributed project, creator, optional category, approval status, billable status, and a short description of the work. The description does not need a diary entry. It should explain the result, such as reconciled supplier invoice exceptions or updated launch-page QA fixes, so a reviewer can recognize the work later.
For project budgets, keep estimates and actuals separate. A time budget compares estimated task time with logged time and a target total; a cost budget adds rates to convert actual time into actual cost. The useful decision is variance: approved work stayed inside target, needs a scope change, or should move to a future phase. Mixing estimated hours into actual time hides that decision.
For Australian operations, treat Asana task time as source evidence for work performed, client billing, budget monitoring, and payroll review. Do not turn a project time entry into a final pay ruling by itself. The record should show the task, date, duration, person, billable status, and approval state. Payroll or HR then applies the worker category, contract, policy, and jurisdiction rules outside the time entry.
The common mistake is accepting a total without a trail. A weekly total of 38 hours is weaker than entries tied to tasks, dates, and review decisions, because no one can see which client, project, or budget received the work. Keep billable and non-billable status visible before invoice or payroll handoff. A manager should correct vague descriptions, wrong project attribution, and missing approvals before exporting reports.
A one-off check works for a single project, a short week, or a manager who only needs to see whether a few tasks were logged. It is enough when the output is a quick list of entries for review and no one needs approvals, locked periods, budget alerts, or accounting handoff. The moment time records affect invoices, project budgets, or payroll review, spreadsheet-style cleanup becomes fragile.
Everhour supports the durable version of that workflow by adding timers and manual entries inside Asana, then feeding task and project hours into timesheets, reports, budgeting, invoicing, and payroll review. Admins can approve submitted time, lock completed periods, send reminders, configure timer behavior, and use automatic timer stop rules. That gives the team a system of record instead of a weekly reconstruction exercise.

A reviewable entry shows the logged date, duration, task, attributed project, creator, billable status, approval status, and a short description. Optional categories help when the team separates support, implementation, admin, or rework. A reviewer should be able to trace the entry back to the task and decide whether it belongs in billing, budget review, or payroll review.
Use project time as the record of work performed, then apply payroll rules in the proper HR or payroll process. The time entry should not decide pay treatment by itself. Keep the worker category, contract, policy, jurisdiction, approval status, and paid time not worked separate from the task entry unless the payroll process explicitly requires that context.
The fastest mistake is approving a weekly total without task-level detail. A total can hide work logged to the wrong project, billable time marked non-billable, missing descriptions, or open timers rounded later. Require the task, date, duration, and approval state before using the hours for client billing, budget review, or payroll review.
Set billable status at the level the client agreement uses, then review exceptions before invoicing. A project record can include work that supports delivery but is not invoiceable under the agreed billing method. Reports should keep billable and non-billable totals visible so budget pressure does not disappear just because the client will not be charged for every logged hour.
Estimates define the expected task or project effort before work starts. Actuals show the time logged after work happens. A useful budget review compares both against the target total and asks one practical question: approved work is inside the target, needs a scope decision, or belongs in a future phase.
Everhour adds timer and manual time-entry controls inside Asana tasks, then feeds task and project hours into timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can approve submitted time, lock completed periods, send reminders, configure timer rules, and control automatic timer stops.
Everhour connects Asana time to hourly-rate, fixed-fee, or non-billable project budgets. Admins can set any percentage for email budget alerts, review billable versus non-billable hours in project summaries, and export detailed reports with 30+ columns to Excel for finance and delivery review.
Track task time inside Asana, review submitted hours, lock approved periods, and send clean records into reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review with Everhour Time Tracking's approval trail.
