Measurement
Track your budget through time or costs
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.
Use a free time tracker to capture hours for one person, one week, or a small job that needs a clean total. Enter the date, task, project or client, start and end time, and whether the time is billable. That gives you a practical record for an invoice draft, payroll review, or a project budget check.
For U.S. wage-and-hour recordkeeping, the FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, but it does not require one specific timekeeping form or system. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
A useful time record identifies the person, date, project, task, hours worked, and billable status. Add notes when the entry needs context, such as a client call, support ticket, or internal meeting. For billing, use U.S. dollars for rate and amount fields when the work is billed in the United States.
Separate billable and non-billable time before you total the week. A single weekly number hides the difference between client work, admin time, training, and internal planning. Project and client labels also prevent cleanup later, especially when one person works across several jobs in the same day.
A free time tracker is enough when you need a no-cost, no-install way to calculate hours and create a simple weekly record. It works for freelancers checking billable time, owners reviewing a small job, or managers collecting a quick total before moving the data into a payroll or billing file.
Free tracking breaks down when several people edit entries, submit late corrections, or need approvals. U.S. 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. A loose file becomes hard to defend when approvals, corrections, and locked periods matter.
A one-off tracker gives you a weekly total. A managed workflow gives you recurring capture, review, correction, and reporting. Teams need that structure when tracked time feeds client invoices, payroll review, project budgets, or utilization reports across multiple clients and projects.
Everhour Team Management supports that shift with approval workflow, lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide time policy defaults. That structure keeps a free weekly total from becoming the only record a manager has to trust.

A free tracker is enough for a small team when the goal is a quick weekly total and the manager can review entries manually. It stops being enough when approvals, locked periods, recurring reports, budget limits, or role-based access become part of the workflow.
A practical free tracker should capture date, person, project or client, task, start time, end time, total hours, billable status, and notes. For U.S. covered nonexempt employees, records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Free tracking can support review when it keeps complete daily and weekly hours. Under the FLSA, covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay.
Yes. Billable status keeps client invoicing separate from internal work, admin time, training, and planning. A weekly total without this split forces you to reconstruct invoices from memory, which creates avoidable disputes and cleanup work.
No. Time tracking and employee monitoring are different workflows. A free tracker should record work hours, projects, tasks, and billing status. U.S. privacy duties vary by state and sector, and businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act.
Everhour Team Management adds approval workflow, lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, and team groups. Managers can review submitted time before payroll, billing, or reporting, then protect approved records from regular-member edits.
Move beyond one-off weekly totals with Everhour Team Management. Set approval workflows, lock periods, roles, capacity, and correction rules so tracked hours become cleaner records for billing and payroll review.
