A timesheet is the working record behind payroll review, client billing, project reporting, and manager approval. For U.S. employers covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records for nonexempt workers must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The format can be paper, spreadsheet, app, or system export, as long as the method is complete and accurate.
Start with the week you need to document, then add each workday, the worker, project or client, task details, billable status, and total time. U.S. rate and billing fields normally use USD. If the timesheet supports payroll review, keep paid time not worked separate from hours actually worked, because overtime and project cost reports rely on that distinction.
A practical weekly timesheet needs the person's name, fixed workweek dates, daily entries, project or client, task or work description, billable and non-billable labels, rates when billing uses time, and a weekly total. For payroll review, the record also needs enough detail to show hours worked each workday and total hours worked in the workweek for covered nonexempt employees.
Approvals need their own trail. A submitted date, approver, approval status, and correction notes show who reviewed the time and whether the worker changed entries later. Employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, such as daily start and stop time cards or sheets, for at least two years.
FLSA overtime for covered nonexempt employees is based on a fixed workweek of 168 hours, made of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Unless exempt, covered employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. Hours from two separate workweeks cannot be averaged for FLSA overtime.
Weekend or holiday work does not create a federal overtime premium by itself. Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or rest-day hours receive overtime under the FLSA only when the weekly overtime rule is triggered, unless a state law, policy, contract, or agreement adds a separate premium. A timesheet should show the actual day worked so the reviewer can apply the correct rule.
A one-off timesheet is enough when you need a single weekly record, a corrected invoice backup, or a small project summary. It breaks down when people submit late entries, managers approve from scattered files, rates change by project, or payroll needs a locked record instead of an editable spreadsheet.
Everhour Team Management gives teams a managed approval workflow around time records. Admins can set lock rules, correct time for team members, apply personal tracking limits, manage weekly capacity, assign roles, group teams, and approve or reject submitted time before payroll, billing, or reporting uses it.

A weekly timesheet should show the worker, workweek dates, each workday, hours worked, project or client, task description, billable status, and weekly total. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, employer records must include daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek.
Yes. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but it does not require one specific form or timekeeping system. A spreadsheet, paper form, timer-based app, or exported report can work if it captures complete and accurate time data.
Paid time off can appear in a timesheet, but it should stay separate from hours actually worked. Payroll, overtime review, utilization, and project costing answer different questions, and mixing paid time not worked with worked hours creates inaccurate weekly totals.
Daily start and stop times help support a clear record, especially when a reviewer needs to audit a shift or correction. Federal recordkeeping rules require daily hours worked and total weekly hours for covered nonexempt employees, and time and earnings records must be preserved for at least two years.
No. For FLSA overtime purposes, hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks. A fixed workweek is 168 hours, and covered nonexempt employees receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in that workweek unless an exemption applies.
Everhour Team Management supports a submit, review, approve, reject, or partially approve workflow before payroll or billing uses time records. Admins can lock approved time, correct entries for team members, set personal tracking limits, manage weekly capacity, and use roles or team groups for cleaner review.
Use Everhour Team Management to lock approved time, correct entries, manage capacity, and approve submitted timesheets before payroll or billing turns hours into decisions.
