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 an online tracker when you need a fast record of work time without installing a desktop app. The practical job is simple: capture each workday, total the workweek, and separate hours by project, client, task, or billable status. 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.
An online tracker is also useful for freelancers and small teams that invoice from hours. A clean weekly record shows which hours belong to client work, internal work, and non-billable administration. Use USD fields for U.S. billing and payroll records. Keep the workweek consistent, because FLSA overtime is measured across a fixed 168-hour workweek, not by averaging two separate weeks.
Manual entry works when you enter time soon after the work happens. It fails when Friday memory replaces daily records. A timer captures time as the task runs, while a manual entry records a known start, stop, or total after the fact. A complete workflow allows both, because field work, meetings, and interrupted tasks do not always fit one capture method.
Track the same core fields each time: date, person, project, task, client if relevant, billable status, and notes that explain the work. For payroll review, covered employers need accurate daily and weekly hour records for covered nonexempt employees. For billing, the record also needs a rate or invoice category, plus a clear distinction between hours actually billed and non-billable time.
The advantage of a browser-based tracker is access. You can open it from a current device, enter time, and walk away with a record instead of a local file trapped on one machine. That makes it enough for a solo weekly total, a small client summary, or a one-time reconstruction of project hours.
The common mistake is treating online access as the whole system. A usable time record still needs consistent projects, stable workweek boundaries, and secure handling of employee data. U.S. businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act, and FTC guidance says companies should collect only what they need, protect it, and dispose of it securely.
A free online tracker is enough when you need a simple weekly total or a quick project breakdown. It is also enough for a one-off invoice backup when the hours are clear and no approval trail is needed. Keep 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 managed workflow matters when tracked time feeds payroll, client billing, budgets, or invoices every week. Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through timers or manual entries, then feeds timesheets, reports, budgets, invoicing, and payroll review. Admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules to keep the record usable after the week closes.

Yes. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but it does not require one specific timekeeping form or system. The chosen method must preserve the required facts, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions.
No. 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 employee's regular rate of pay. A workweek is a fixed 168-hour period, and hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes.
No. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely because covered nonexempt employees work Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. Premium pay applies under the federal baseline when the weekly overtime rule is triggered, unless another law, contract, or employer policy creates a separate premium.
The record should preserve daily hours worked, total hours worked each workweek, the worker, the date, and the work category used for payroll or billing. Employers must keep 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.
Browser access does not remove privacy obligations. U.S. businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act. California privacy rights also extend to California resident employees and job applicants, so employee time-tracking data may fall under CCPA obligations for covered businesses.
Everhour Time Tracking lets users record task and project hours with live timers or manual entries. The same entries can feed timesheets, reports, budgets, invoicing, and payroll review, while admins manage approvals, locked periods, reminders, and automatic timer stop rules.
