Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
A project time tracking app in France helps you capture who worked, which project or task received the time, the date of work, the duration, and the billing or payroll context attached to the entry. The practical goal is a record that supports client invoices, internal cost review, capacity planning, and working-time checks without rebuilding the week from chat messages or calendar notes.
France adds a legal reason to keep the record disciplined. EU case law sets a baseline for an objective, reliable and accessible system for measuring each worker's daily working time. French labour law also requires working-time count documents for employees who do not follow the same collective schedule as their service or workshop, including accrued compensatory rest and actual rest taken.
A useful project record separates project time from the wider working day. A consultant can log 3 hours to a client analysis task, 2 hours to internal review, 1 hour to project administration, and the remaining working time to non-project duties. That split gives the client a credible invoice and gives the employer a complete view of effective working time.
France's standard private-sector frame makes that distinction matter. The legal full-time working duration is 35 hours per week, equal to 151.67 hours per month or 1,607 hours per year in the general case. For a full-time employee, work requested by the employer beyond 35 hours per week or 1,607 hours per year is overtime, subject to the applicable collective terms or statutory default premiums.
A common mistake is treating project totals as a substitute for daily working-time records. A project report can show 42 hours billed across three clients and still miss start times, end times, rest periods, or actual rest taken. For collective working schedules, French rules require the employer to display the start and finish times and the hours and duration of rest periods.
Automatic tracking needs extra care. French labour law requires an automatic working-time count system to be reliable and tamper-proof, and the employer must provide evidence of actual hours in working-time disputes. Employee time-entry, schedule, and monitoring data that identify workers are personal data under the GDPR, so tracking must stay lawful, fair, transparent, and secure.
A free project time total works for a one-off check, a draft client invoice, or a small weekly reconciliation. That approach breaks down when several employees work across clients, rates, approvals, overtime review, and euro-denominated billing. France-facing workflows also need labels and reports that work for French users and financial outputs in euros where money appears.
A managed workflow gives each entry a place to go after submission. Everhour can turn logged project time into reporting for budgets, utilization, billing, and payroll review, while approvals and exports give managers a cleaner handoff. The stronger setup keeps project detail, working-time context, and client billing records aligned instead of forcing manual reconciliation at month end.

France sits under the EU CJEU CCOO v Deutsche Bank baseline requiring member states to require an objective, reliable and accessible system for measuring each worker's daily working time. French labour law also sets specific recordkeeping duties for non-collective schedules and reliability requirements for automatic working-time systems.
A France project time record should preserve the worker, date, project, task, duration, and billing status, plus enough working-time context for payroll or management review. Teams with non-collective schedules also need documents that support each affected employee's working-time count, compensatory rest accrued, and actual rest taken.
Project hours alone give useful evidence, yet they do not cover every working-time question. For a full-time employee, overtime starts with work requested by the employer beyond 35 hours per week or 1,607 hours per year, and the record needs enough detail to connect project entries to actual working time.
Excessive monitoring creates GDPR risk when employee time-entry, schedule, or activity data identifies workers without lawful, fair, transparent, and secure processing. Basic project time entry is easier to justify than intrusive activity monitoring. Employers should define the purpose, limit access, explain the process, and protect the data.
Reports that include rates, budgets, costs, invoices, or revenue should use euros for France-facing work. France's currency is the euro, and euro-denominated reporting prevents avoidable confusion during billing, margin review, and accounting handoff. Pure hour reports can stay unit-based when no money appears.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into configurable reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Teams can review project hours, billable time, labor costs, invoice status, and overtime visibility through Team Hours and custom reports.
Track approved project hours, review costs and billing in euros, and export the reports managers need. Everhour Reporting keeps France project records usable beyond the weekly timesheet.
