Use this page to organize employee hours into a record that payroll, billing, and management can read without reconstruction. For U.S. employers, the federal baseline under the FLSA focuses on accurate records for nonexempt workers. Covered employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions.
A complete weekly record starts with the employee, date, project or job, start and stop times or equivalent daily totals, billable status when needed, and notes for corrections. The FLSA does not require one specific timekeeping form or system. The method can be digital, manual, or built into a project tool, as long as the records are complete and accurate.
Employee time tracking works best when each entry answers four questions: who worked, when the work happened, where the time belongs, and whether the time affects payroll, billing, or reporting. A line such as "March 5, 2026, Client A onboarding, 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, billable" gives more useful information than a loose total of 3.5 hours.
Teams also need a fixed workweek for overtime review. Under the FLSA, a workweek is a fixed, regularly recurring period of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in that workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. Hours cannot be averaged across multiple workweeks for FLSA overtime.
Employee time tracking should measure work time, job allocation, and approval status. It should not collect more personal information than the organization needs for payroll, billing, budgets, or scheduling. U.S. privacy duties are sectoral and state-dependent, but businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act.
California gives a clear example of why employee data deserves a deliberate setup. California privacy rights extend to California residents who are employees or job applicants, and the CCPA employment-data exemptions expired on December 31, 2022. A covered business using time-tracking data for California employees should align collection, access, retention, and disposal with its privacy obligations.
A one-off weekly total is enough for a quick check, a small correction, or a simple internal review. It stops being enough when multiple employees, projects, clients, approvals, and billing rules enter the workflow. At that point, the team needs consistent entries, locked periods, correction history, and a reliable handoff to payroll or invoicing.
Everhour fits the managed-workflow side by connecting tracked time to team controls. Managers can use roles, project assignments, team groups, weekly capacity, approval workflow, personal tracking limits, lock rules, and admin time correction to keep records usable after the week closes. That structure matters when time entries feed billing, payroll review, budgets, and reporting.

No. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but it does not require a particular time clock, app, spreadsheet, or paper form. The recordkeeping method must still capture the required information, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for covered employees.
A weekly review should include all hours worked in the employer's fixed workweek for each covered nonexempt employee. The review should separate regular hours, hours over 40 in that workweek, paid time not worked when the employer tracks it, and project or client allocation when those categories affect billing, budgets, or reports.
Yes. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely because work happens on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. Covered nonexempt employees receive federal overtime when hours worked exceed 40 in a workweek, unless another law, policy, or contract creates a different premium rule.
Averaging hours across two workweeks creates payroll cleanup for covered nonexempt employees. The FLSA workweek is a fixed 168-hour period, and overtime must be reviewed within that workweek. A 35-hour week and a 45-hour week cannot be averaged into two 40-hour weeks for FLSA overtime purposes.
Federal rules require employers to preserve payroll records for at least three years. Basic time and earnings records, including daily start and stop time cards or sheets, must be preserved for at least two years. State rules, contracts, and litigation needs can require longer retention.
Everhour Team Management gives admins lock rules, approval workflow, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, team groups, and admin time correction. Those controls help managers close a period, fix entries with permission, and keep approved time from changing before payroll or billing review.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into configurable reports. Teams can group and filter records by member, project, client, task, billable time, and other available columns, then export reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for review.
Track approved hours, lock closed periods, and manage corrections in Everhour so employee time records stay ready for payroll review, project reporting, and client billing.
