You need a clear view of who worked, on which project or task, and for how long. For U.S. teams, covered employers must keep accurate records for non-exempt workers under the FLSA, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the minimum wage or overtime provisions.
A useful weekly record separates project time from working time, then preserves enough detail for review. One employee may log 6 hours on a client build, 1.5 hours on internal support, and 30 minutes on admin. That structure gives payroll a daily total, gives managers project visibility, and gives billing staff a cleaner starting point than one weekly number.
An employee time tracking app usually supports two entry modes: live timers and manual entries. Timers capture time as work happens. Manual entries let employees record time after a meeting, site visit, call, or focused work block. A practical system allows both, then labels the entry with the person, date, project, task, and billable status.
The FLSA does not require covered employers to use a specific timekeeping form or system. The method must produce complete and accurate records. For covered non-exempt employees, federal overtime review uses hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek, paid at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate. Hours cannot be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes.
An intuitive app reduces the choices an employee must make at the point of entry. The person should be able to pick a project, start a timer, add a note, mark billable or non-billable time, and correct a missed entry without asking a manager how the system works. The app should keep common projects close and hide fields that do not apply to the employee's work.
The biggest mistake is treating ease of use as a shortcut around record quality. A friendly interface still needs daily hours, weekly totals, and enough project or task detail to explain the work later. U.S. businesses that handle personal information also need sensible data practices. FTC guidance says companies keeping sensitive customer or employee information should collect only what they need, protect it, and dispose of it securely.
A one-off weekly hours total works for a quick check, a small project, or a solo billing review. It becomes thin when several employees work across clients, budgets, and pay periods. At that point, the team needs repeatable records, review status, exports, and reports that show which hours belong to payroll, which hours belong to client billing, and which hours affect project margin.
Everhour fits that managed workflow when tracked time needs to feed reporting instead of living as isolated entries. Teams can build reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. That gives managers a clearer path from employee time entries to billability, labor cost, profitability, and overtime visibility in Team Hours and custom reports.

A practical app supports both. Timers capture work as it happens, which reduces end-of-week reconstruction. Manual entries cover work that was not timed, such as meetings, calls, travel blocks, or corrected missed time. The record still needs the date, employee, hours, project or task, and billable status when that status matters.
Weekly totals alone leave gaps for covered non-exempt employees under the FLSA. Employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the minimum wage or overtime provisions. Daily records also make corrections easier because the reviewer can find the exact day that needs attention.
Federal law does not require overtime premium pay solely because an employee worked on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. For covered non-exempt employees under the FLSA, the federal overtime rule applies to hours worked over 40 in a workweek unless another law, policy, or agreement creates a different obligation.
Strong records include employee name, date, start and stop time or duration, project, task, billable status, notes when needed, and weekly totals. U.S. rate and billing fields normally use U.S. dollars. For payroll review, preserve enough detail to confirm daily hours, total workweek hours, and the split between paid work and client-billable work.
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, audits, and client billing requirements can require longer retention.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, and conditional formatting. Teams can review billable time, labor costs, project progress, invoice status, and overtime visibility through Team Hours and custom reports.
Everhour can run as a standalone tracker or inside project tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Employees can track time where tasks already live, which reduces duplicate entry and keeps project context attached to the time record.
Track employee hours once, then use Everhour Reporting to group, filter, export, and review time by person, project, billable status, cost, and overtime visibility.
