Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
A lawyer who finishes a client call, draft review, or research block needs a record tied to the work item that created it. A useful entry records the task, person, duration, date or time range, billable status, description, and tags when tags carry review value.
Everhour embeds timer and manual time entry controls inside ClickUp through the browser extension, then saves that tracked time to Everhour reporting. ClickUp remains the task workspace, while Everhour becomes the place where time entries feed reports, budgets, billing review, invoices, and payroll review.
A ClickUp manual time entry can store the amount worked, user, date and time range, billable or non-billable status, description, and time tracking tags. For legal work, the description should identify the work performed in plain language, such as research, drafting, review, or client follow-up.
A clean entry should read like an invoice source rather than a diary. For example: 45 minutes on a contract review task, billable, with a description stating the specific review performed. Internal staffing, training, or admin work should stay visible as non-billable instead of disappearing from reports because those hours still affect capacity and profitability review.
The timer fits work that starts from a ClickUp task and continues without major interruption. Start it on the task, stop it when the work changes, and create a separate entry when the billing status changes. That habit keeps time attached to the task that produced it and avoids one broad block covering unrelated work.
Manual entry fits work captured after the fact, such as a meeting, call, or work recorded from notes. Enter the actual date, duration, billable status, and description while the context is fresh. The common mistake is one end-of-day entry for all legal work. That hides task-level totals and slows review.
A one-off tracker is enough when a lawyer needs a short list of entries for a small week. The record should still show task, person, date or time range, duration, billable flag, description, and useful tags. Export or save it before billing so the source stays available.
A law firm needs a managed workflow once several people log time against the same ClickUp projects. Everhour can keep billable and non-billable entries tied to tasks, route weekly timesheets for approval, lock completed periods, and feed reports for billing or payroll review. That creates a durable record instead of a spreadsheet rebuilt after the month closes.

A reviewable entry identifies the task, person, duration, date or time range, billable status, description, and relevant tags. The description should support billing review without exposing unnecessary confidential detail in exports or client-facing summaries. Tags help when the firm uses them to separate phases, departments, or work types.
A timer works best for focused drafting, research, review, and task-based client work because the entry starts at the work item. Manual entry works best after meetings, calls, or work captured from notes. Either method needs the actual date, duration, task, billable flag, and description.
Split the work when the task, work type, or billing status changes. One 3-hour block across research, client email, internal discussion, and drafting weakens task totals. Separate entries let reviewers see which task produced each hour and give billing staff cleaner source records for invoices.
Firm policy and client agreements decide billable status. Internal training, staffing coordination, billing cleanup, and general admin often stay non-billable, while client-authorized research, drafting, review, and calls often become billable. Keep non-billable time in the record because it still affects capacity, profitability, and staffing decisions.
The slowest review starts with vague daily totals such as "client work" or "case prep." Those entries hide the task, billing status, and work outcome. Reviewers then send corrections back to the timekeeper or rewrite descriptions from memory, which increases billing delay and weakens the record.
Everhour lets admins set billing status at the project level, mark specific tasks non-billable inside billable projects, and use custom task rates or member-rate exceptions for legal work priced differently. Reports can show Billable Time, Non-Billable Time, Billable Amount, and Cost for billing review.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours, then managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time before billing or payroll review. Submitted and approved time stays protected from regular member edits unless it is withdrawn or rejected for correction.
