Timesheet submission basics

Prepare the week for review

A timesheet submission is for closing a work period with usable records. You need daily hours, weekly totals, the right person, the right workweek, and the projects or tasks those hours belong to. For U.S. employers covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records for non-exempt workers must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.

The workweek matters because federal overtime is weekly. A workweek is a fixed period of 168 hours, made of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Covered non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in that workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. Hours cannot be averaged across two workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes.

Include the fields reviewers need

A useful submission shows the employee, date range, daily entries, project or client, task description, billable status, rate field when billing applies, and comments for exceptions. U.S. users normally record time-based billing, payroll, and rate fields in U.S. dollars. A weekly total should match the daily entries, and any paid time not worked should be labeled separately from hours actually worked.

Reviewers need enough context to approve, reject, or request changes. A line such as "Website redesign, client review revisions, 2.5 hours, billable" is clearer than "Client work, 2.5 hours." Short task labels make invoices easier to explain and payroll review easier to audit. Complete entries also reduce disputes over whether time belongs to a client budget, internal work, or a payroll-only category.

Avoid submission mistakes

The most common mistake is reconstructing the full week after work has ended. End-of-week recall usually drops small tasks, rounds too aggressively, and hides the difference between billable and non-billable time. A defensible submission records time close to the work, separates projects, and flags exceptions before the reviewer sees the total.

Another mistake is treating weekend or holiday work as automatic premium time under federal law. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely for Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or regular rest-day work unless the weekly overtime rule is triggered or another law, policy, contract, or agreement applies. State wage rules, privacy rules, and employee-monitoring laws can add requirements, so the submission process should preserve the details needed for local review.

Choose one-off or managed tracking

A one-off weekly timesheet works for a freelancer closing a small job, a manager checking a single week, or a business that needs a quick export for a narrow review. The result should still be complete: daily hours, weekly total, project detail, and notes that explain unusual entries. Federal rules allow any complete and accurate timekeeping method for covered non-exempt workers.

A managed workflow fits recurring payroll, client billing, budgets, and approvals. Everhour supports timers and manual entries, tracks work against tasks and projects, and feeds approved time into reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can use reminders, locked periods, timer rules, and approvals so submitted time becomes a consistent record instead of a weekly file assembled by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be checked before a timesheet is submitted?

Check the employee, workweek dates, daily hours, weekly total, project or client, billable status, and comments for exceptions. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.

Can a submitted timesheet be corrected later?

A correction process should preserve the original record, the changed entry, and the reason for the change. Payroll and billing teams need an approval trail when a daily total, task, or billable category changes after submission. Employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records for at least two years.

Is a timesheet submission the same as payroll approval?

A timesheet submission sends the record for review. Payroll approval means the reviewer has accepted the hours for pay processing, billing, or reporting. The two steps should stay separate when managers need to reject missing entries, correct project coding, or verify covered non-exempt overtime before payroll is finalized.

Should a timesheet include start and stop times?

Start and stop times are useful when the employer uses them as the timekeeping method, and basic time and earnings records such as daily start and stop time cards or sheets must be retained for at least two years. The FLSA requires complete and accurate records, but it does not require one specific form or system.

Does a timesheet need privacy controls?

Yes. Time records contain personal work data, project details, and sometimes location or device context. U.S. privacy duties are sectoral and state-dependent. Businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act, and California employees and job applicants can fall under CCPA obligations for covered businesses.

How does Everhour Time Tracking support timesheet submission?

Everhour Time Tracking lets users record task and project hours through live timers or manual entries, including inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, Jira, GitHub, Linear, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Those entries feed timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review.
