Use this page to prepare a weekly timesheet for work hours, client billing, internal review, or payroll prep. A complete entry identifies the person, date, project or client, task, hours worked, and whether the time is billable. For U.S. payroll review, employer records for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
A free app works best when you need a clear weekly record without installing software or setting up a full team system. Enter time as the week happens, then review the totals before using them for payroll, an invoice, or a manager approval step. Reconstructed entries at the end of the week create avoidable cleanup because the person filling them out must remember task details, breaks, and client boundaries.
A free timesheet should leave you with a usable export or copyable record, not only a screen total. Keep the structure simple: worker name, week start date, daily hours, weekly total, project or client, billable status, notes, and approval status when another person reviews the time. U.S. users normally show billing and pay-rate fields in U.S. dollars.
Cost matters, but completeness matters more. The FLSA does not require a specific timekeeping form or system, so a free timesheet can support federal recordkeeping when the record is complete and accurate for covered nonexempt workers. A blank note field is useful for exceptions, such as corrected entries, approved adjustments, or work that changed from non-billable to billable after review.
A timesheet supports different decisions from the same set of hours. Payroll review needs daily hours and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions. Client billing needs project, task, billable status, and rate context. Project management needs the same time grouped by client, project, and task so overruns show up before the invoice stage.
Federal overtime for covered nonexempt employees is weekly. Unless exempt, covered 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. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely for Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or rest-day work unless weekly overtime is triggered or another law or agreement applies.
A free timesheet is enough for a solo week, a small client job, or a quick record you need to export once. It becomes thin when several people track time across projects and clients, managers need approvals, or accounting needs the same data for billing, payroll review, and project reporting. At that point, the issue is no longer the weekly total. The issue is maintaining one reliable record.
Everhour fits the managed workflow when tracked time needs reporting rather than a standalone sheet. Logged hours can flow into customizable reports with more than 45 columns, metadata filters, grouping, date ranges, exports, and scheduled email delivery. That gives managers a repeatable way to review billable time, labor costs, invoice status, overtime visibility, and project profitability without rebuilding the same spreadsheet each week.

A free app can support FLSA time records if the employer keeps complete and accurate records for covered nonexempt workers. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The FLSA does not require one specific timekeeping form or system.
The timesheet should show total hours worked for the fixed workweek used by the employer. Under the FLSA, a workweek is a fixed, regularly recurring period of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks for federal overtime purposes.
A timer is useful when people forget to enter time during the day, but a timer is not the only valid method. Manual entries can work when the person records hours accurately and promptly. The record still needs enough detail to show daily hours, weekly totals, and the project or client attached to the work.
Yes. Billable and non-billable hours answer different questions. A client invoice needs billable project time, while internal planning needs the full workload, including meetings, admin work, and revisions that are not charged to the client. Separating them also helps managers see whether a project is profitable.
The common mistake is keeping only a weekly grand total. Payroll review needs daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions. A weekly total without dates, daily amounts, and correction notes makes overtime review and record retention harder.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time into customizable reports with more than 45 columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports. Managers can review billable time, labor costs, invoice status, project budgets, and overtime visibility through Team Hours and custom reports.
Use a free timesheet for one weekly record. Use Everhour when tracked time needs grouped reports, scheduled exports, and billing or payroll review from the same reporting layer.
