A project time report gives you a structured record of work completed during a defined period. Use it to review weekly hours, check project budgets, prepare client billing, or support payroll review. The report should connect each time entry to a person, date, project, task, client, and billable status.
For U.S. employers covered by the FLSA, records for nonexempt workers must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The FLSA does not require a specific timekeeping system, but the method must produce complete and accurate records. A project report can support that recordkeeping when it keeps daily and weekly totals clear.
A useful report starts with a fixed date range, usually one week, two weeks, a month, or the client billing period. Each row should identify the worker, project, task, date, time entered, billable status, billing rate when relevant, and notes that explain the work. U.S. billing and rate fields normally use U.S. dollars.
Separate billable and non-billable time before you send totals to a client. For example, a design task can show 3.5 billable hours for client revisions, while an internal planning task shows 1 non-billable hour. That split prevents inflated invoices and gives managers a cleaner view of project cost.
A project report can cover any reporting period, but payroll review needs the workweek boundaries intact. 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 a workweek at not less than 1.5 times the regular rate.
Do not average hours across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes. A two-week project report can still be useful, but it should preserve weekly subtotals. Weekend or holiday work does not create a federal overtime premium by itself unless the weekly overtime rule applies or another law, policy, contract, or agreement adds a premium.
A one-off report is enough when you need a quick project summary, a client progress check, or a single export for a small job. It works best when the underlying entries are already complete and nobody needs approval, correction history, locked periods, or recurring payroll review.
A managed workflow fits ongoing projects with multiple people, recurring billing, or payroll handoff. Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project and working hours, let users submit time for review, and let admins approve, reject, partially approve, and lock entries before the numbers move into billing or payroll review.

A project time report should include the reporting period, worker, client, project, task, date, hours, billable status, rate when used, notes, and totals. For covered nonexempt employees under the FLSA, employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
One report can support both workflows if it separates payroll-relevant hours from client-billable hours. Payroll review needs accurate daily and weekly hours for covered nonexempt workers. Client billing needs task, project, client, billable status, and rate details. Keep those columns visible instead of using one blended total.
A report is more defensible when it shows how time was captured. Timer entries usually reflect work as it happens, while manual entries depend on later recall. Manual time is acceptable when it is accurate, but reviewers should see late additions, corrections, and missing notes before approving the report.
A project report needs overtime detail when the report supports payroll review for covered nonexempt employees. Federal overtime applies to hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate. State law, contracts, or workplace policy can add separate rules.
Under federal FLSA recordkeeping rules, 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. State rules or company policy can require longer retention.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then route them for review before billing or payroll. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock submitted entries, which keeps reviewed project time from changing after approval.
Use Everhour Timesheets to collect weekly project hours, review submissions, approve or reject entries, and lock approved time before billing or payroll review.
