A project time tracking app in the Netherlands should help you record who worked, on which project, on which task, and for how long. Dutch employers must keep a proper registration of hours worked, and the Labour Inspectorate must be able to verify Working Hours Act compliance from those records. The guidance does not force one specific format, so the system matters more than the label.
For project managers, the practical goal is a clean split between billable client work, non-billable project work, admin time, and time off context. A weekly total alone leaves gaps. Daily entries make it easier to spot long shifts, missing breaks, late manual edits, and project overruns before payroll or client billing closes for the period.
A useful project record starts with the worker, date, project, task, start and end context, total time, break treatment, and billable status. The Netherlands uses the euro (€), so billing reports and project invoices normally need euro-denominated amounts. Dutch-language labels also matter when local managers, finance staff, or employees review time.
Dutch working-time rules make daily and rolling-period views useful. For employees aged 18 and over, the ordinary maximum is 12 hours per shift and 60 hours per week, and that 60-hour weekly maximum cannot be used every week. Average limits also apply: up to 55 hours per week over 4 weeks and up to 48 hours per week over 16 weeks, subject to exceptions and collective arrangements.
Project tracking should capture time needed for management, billing, and compliance without turning ordinary time entry into broad employee surveillance. Employee time records are personal data when they identify workers, so GDPR principles apply: lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, storage limitation, security, and accountability. The record should explain why the data is collected and who uses it.
Enhanced monitoring needs separate scrutiny. A data protection impact assessment is required before processing likely to create high risk to individuals, so activity tracking, screenshots, or intensive monitoring features need a different review than basic project timesheets. Keep the app focused on work records first: hours, projects, approvals, corrections, exports, and audit history.
A free or one-off tracker is enough when you need to reconstruct one week, prepare a small client invoice, or check whether a project total looks reasonable. It breaks down when several people submit time, managers approve corrections, payroll needs locked totals, and client billing depends on the same entries every month.
Everhour Timesheets fit that managed workflow by collecting weekly project hours and working hours by person. Team members can submit time for review, and managers can approve, reject, partially approve, or lock entries before payroll, billing, or reporting uses them. That approval layer turns project time into a record people can act on.

Dutch employers must keep a proper registration of hours worked, and the records must let the Labour Inspectorate verify Working Hours Act compliance. Project hours can support that record when they show daily work clearly enough. A project-only total is too thin when it hides the worker, date, duration, and break context.
A project app should make long days and heavy weeks visible. For employees aged 18 and over, the Dutch Working Hours Act sets ordinary limits of 12 hours per shift and 60 hours per week. Average caps also matter: 55 hours per week over 4 weeks and 48 hours per week over 16 weeks, subject to exceptions and collective arrangements.
Project tracking should account for breaks because break treatment changes the accuracy of working-time records. A shift longer than 5.5 hours gives entitlement to at least 30 minutes of break time, and a shift longer than 10 hours requires at least 45 minutes of break time, with limited collective-arrangement flexibility.
Overtime can be billed separately if the client contract or project billing setup uses a separate overtime rate or line item. Dutch law does not set a statutory overtime premium, so overtime pay comes from employment terms or a collective labour agreement. Overtime still counts toward the Dutch maximum working-time limits.
Employee time records identify workers, so GDPR applies to collection, storage, access, and retention. The main mistake is collecting more detail than the workflow needs. Basic project time entry supports billing and working-time review; enhanced monitoring features require separate assessment when processing is likely to create high risk to individuals.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let employees submit time for manager review. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, or lock entries before payroll, billing, or reporting uses the totals.
Everhour connects tracked project time to invoices, so approved hours can move from timesheets into client billing without retyping totals. Teams can keep billable and non-billable work separate while using the same time records for project review.
Track weekly project and working hours, review submissions, and lock approved entries before payroll or billing. Everhour gives Dutch teams a clearer approval trail for project time.
