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 useful time tracker gives you a clean weekly view of work by person, project, client, and task. The immediate job is simple: record hours as work happens, separate billable and non-billable time, and leave enough detail for a manager, bookkeeper, or project lead to understand the entry later.
For U.S. employers covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records for non-exempt workers must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The FLSA does not require a specific timekeeping system, but the chosen method must produce complete and accurate records.
Time entries need more than a date and total hours. A workable record should identify the person, project, client, task, billable status, time amount, and notes when the entry needs context. Rate fields should use U.S. dollars for U.S. billing and payroll records.
Manual entries work for corrections and after-the-fact cleanup. Timers work better when the goal is to capture time close to the actual work. Rebuilt timesheets at the end of the week lose detail, especially when one person moves across several projects or task types in the same day.
Architecture firms need a clear split between client-facing project time and internal work because the same weekly total can support different decisions. Billing review needs billable time tied to the right client or project. Payroll review needs daily and weekly hours for covered non-exempt employees. Budget review needs the project total compared with the expected effort.
A common mistake is treating a weekly total as the record. A total of 40 hours says little about where time went, which client should be billed, or whether a project is consuming more effort than planned. Better records attach each time entry to a project and task before the week closes.
A free weekly tracker is enough when you need a one-off total, a quick project summary, or a small set of hours to copy into another system. It gives you a fast way to organize entries before an invoice, payroll review, or project check-in.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when time needs approval, locked periods, billing handoff, and durable records. Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project and working hours, let users submit time for review, and let admins approve, reject, partially approve, or lock submitted entries before payroll or billing uses them.

Each entry should show the person, date, project, client, task, billable status, time amount, and enough notes to explain the work if a reviewer needs context. U.S. employers covered by FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions must also keep daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek for non-exempt workers.
The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, but it does not require a specific timekeeping form or system. A digital tracker is acceptable when it captures complete and accurate records, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for covered non-exempt employees.
Yes. Billing, budget review, and staffing decisions need separate billable and non-billable totals. A single weekly total can satisfy none of those jobs well because it hides whether time went to client work, internal coordination, corrections, or other non-billable activity.
The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely because work happens on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. For covered non-exempt employees, federal overtime applies to hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek, unless another law, policy, or agreement adds a different rule.
Federal rules require employers to preserve payroll records for at least three years. Basic time and earnings records, such as daily start and stop time cards or sheets, must be kept for at least two years. State rules, contracts, or internal policies can require longer retention.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let users submit time for review. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock submitted entries before payroll, billing, or reporting uses those records.
Everhour can track time inside supported project tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Teams can keep task work in those tools while tracked time flows into Everhour for review and reporting.
Use Everhour Timesheets to collect weekly project and working hours, route them through approval, and lock reviewed entries before payroll or billing depends on them.
