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.
Project time tracking gives you a record of hours by project, client, task, person, date, and billable status. A freelancer uses it to support an invoice. A manager uses it to compare actual hours against a project budget. An owner uses it to see which work is paid, unpaid, delayed, or outside scope.
For U.S. employers, project records also sit beside wage-and-hour records. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The federal rule does not require a specific timekeeping system, so a complete and accurate method is the practical goal.
A usable project record needs more than a weekly total. Track the project name, client, task, worker, date, start and stop time or duration, billable status, rate, notes, and approval status. U.S. billing fields normally use U.S. dollars. For payroll review, keep daily hours and weekly totals visible instead of hiding them inside project-only summaries.
Billable and non-billable time need separate labels because they answer different questions. A client invoice needs chargeable work. A project budget needs all time spent, including internal meetings, fixes, and project management. A line such as "Website redesign, QA review, 2.5 hours, billable, $95 per hour" tells a cleaner story than "design work, Friday."
Project teams often sort work by sprint, milestone, or invoice period, but U.S. overtime rules use the workweek. A workweek is a fixed, regularly recurring period of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Covered non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate.
Weekend and holiday labels help explain scheduling, but the FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely because covered non-exempt employees worked on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. The weekly overtime rule, another law, or a policy or contract exception controls the premium. Keep project reports aligned to the fixed workweek so payroll review does not require reconstruction.
A simple weekly tracker works for a small one-time job, especially when one person needs a clean total by project and client. It breaks down when several people work across clients, rates, budgets, and approval steps. At that point, the durable record matters as much as the total because billing, payroll review, and project reporting all need the same hours.
Everhour fits that ongoing workflow by letting teams track project time and turn logged hours into reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, exports, and scheduled delivery. That matters when managers need project profitability, billable time, labor costs, invoice status, and budget data from the same reporting layer instead of separate spreadsheets.

A project time record should include the worker, date, project, client, task, duration or start and stop time, billable status, rate when billing applies, notes, and approval status. For covered employers tracking non-exempt workers under the FLSA, records also need hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Project billing can follow the invoice period, but wage-and-hour review needs the fixed workweek. Under the FLSA, a workweek is 168 hours, made of seven consecutive 24-hour periods, and hours cannot be averaged across two or more workweeks for federal overtime purposes. Keep both views available when billing periods and workweeks differ.
Project records should include billable and non-billable time because both affect project cost. Billable time supports invoices. Non-billable time shows internal meetings, rework, admin tasks, and scope drag. Omitting non-billable time makes profitability, utilization, and future estimates look cleaner than the work actually was.
Manual entries are acceptable when they are complete and accurate. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, but it does not mandate a clock, app, or specific form. Manual project time works better when entries include dates, tasks, daily hours, weekly totals, notes, and an approval step.
Federal rules require employers to preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, such as daily time cards or sheets, for at least two years. Project billing records often need longer retention under contracts, accounting policies, or client requirements, so keep payroll and billing retention rules separate.
Everhour Reporting turns logged project time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Managers can review billable time, labor costs, profit, invoice status, budget metrics, and client or project details without rebuilding the report from raw timesheets.
Everhour embeds time tracking controls inside supported project tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Team members can start timers or add manual entries from the task context, while tracked time flows into Everhour for timesheets, budgets, invoices, and reports.
Track approved project hours, group them by client and task, and export the results for billing or payroll review. Everhour gives teams reporting depth without spreadsheet cleanup.
