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.
Billable hours tracking gives you a record of time spent on client work, usually organized by client, project, task, date, rate, and notes. The useful output is more than a weekly total. A client-ready record shows which work belongs on an invoice, which work stays internal, and which entries need review before billing.
For U.S. employers, billing records can sit beside wage-and-hour records, but they are not the same thing. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The method can be manual, digital, or integrated, as long as the records are complete and accurate.
A clean billable-hours workflow starts with a decision for each entry: billable or non-billable. Client calls, project delivery, implementation, research tied to a paid scope, and approved revisions usually belong in billable time. Internal meetings, sales work, training, admin cleanup, and rework outside the agreement usually stay non-billable unless the contract says otherwise.
Task-level detail prevents disputes. An entry such as "Website redesign, homepage wireframe review, 1.5 hours, billable" gives a client more context than "design, 1.5 hours." Good records also keep currency and rate fields consistent. For U.S. billing, rate and invoice fields normally use U.S. dollars because U.S. currency is legal tender for debts, public charges, taxes, and dues.
Billable time does not replace payroll timekeeping. A nonexempt employee can have 32 billable hours and 45 hours actually worked in the same fixed workweek. Unless exempt, covered employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a 168-hour workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay.
Weekend work also needs precise handling. The FLSA does not require premium pay solely because covered nonexempt employees work on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. A premium applies under the federal baseline only when weekly overtime is triggered, unless state law, local law, a policy, or a contract creates a separate rule.
A one-off weekly tracker works when you need a quick total for a small invoice, a short engagement, or a personal check against a client estimate. It is enough when the stakes are low, the scope is simple, and one person controls the billing decision. Save the finished record with the invoice so the hours and charges stay connected.
A managed workflow fits recurring client work, teams, approvals, budgets, and payroll review. Everhour Time Tracking lets users start timers or add manual entries against tasks and projects, including inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Those entries can feed timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, payroll review, locked periods, reminders, and automatic timer rules.

Billable time is work the client agreed to pay for under the scope, contract, or approval process. It usually includes delivery tasks, client meetings, approved research, implementation, testing, and revisions inside the agreed limit. Internal admin, sales, training, and unapproved rework should stay non-billable unless the client agreement says those activities are chargeable.
Track all three when possible. The client field supports invoicing, the project field ties time to a budget or engagement, and the task field explains the work performed. A flat list of hours creates review work later because someone has to reconstruct which entries belong to each invoice, estimate, or approval batch.
Billable time and payroll time serve different purposes. Billable time supports client charges. Payroll records show hours actually worked by employees. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek, regardless of how many of those hours are billable.
Weekend client work does not automatically create overtime under the federal baseline. The FLSA requires overtime for covered nonexempt employees after 40 hours worked in a fixed 168-hour workweek. State law, local law, employment policy, a union agreement, or a client contract can create additional pay or billing rules, so keep those rules separate from the invoice label.
Vague time entries cause the most friction because they force the client to infer value after the fact. "Project work, 4 hours" gives no usable review trail. A stronger entry names the project, task, date, billable status, time spent, and short work note, such as "Data migration, import error checks, 4 hours, billable."
Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through live timers or manual entries, including inside supported project tools. Teams can route those hours into timesheets, reporting, budgeting, invoicing, and payroll review, with admin controls for approvals, locked periods, reminders, and automatic timer stop rules.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into configurable reports. Teams can filter by project, client, member, date range, billable time, labor costs, invoice status, and other columns, then export reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for review or client records.
Move from weekly totals to task-level time records. Everhour connects timers, manual entries, approvals, budgets, invoices, and payroll review so billable hours stay ready for billing.
