Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use this page when you need to convert a start time and an end time into a usable work duration. The result can support a timesheet correction, a billing review, a project estimate check, or a payroll question. A duration alone is only the elapsed amount; a usable record also identifies the work date, person, project or client, and whether the time belongs in a billable or payroll review workflow.
U.S. wage-and-hour recordkeeping centers on accuracy rather than a mandated clock format. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, and any complete, accurate timekeeping method can satisfy the federal baseline. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
A complete entry starts with date, start time, end time, and the worker responsible for the time. Add project, client, task, or work category when the total will feed billing, budgets, or utilization. If your policy tracks pauses separately, record the pause field apart from the worked interval so the final duration reflects hours actually worked and the source times remain visible during review.
Billing records need a rate field only when the duration becomes an invoice or revenue report. U.S. users normally enter rates in U.S. dollars for time-based billing, payroll, and charge fields. Keep rate math separate from duration math: first confirm the elapsed hours, then apply the pay rate, billing rate, fixed-fee allocation, or non-billable label required by the job.
Elapsed time becomes legally useful only after you place it in the correct workweek. Under the FLSA, a workweek is a fixed, regularly recurring 168-hour period made 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 one and one-half times the regular rate.
Do not average a long workweek with a short workweek for FLSA overtime. A weekend interval belongs to the fixed workweek the employer has established, and the federal overtime question uses that weekly total. The FLSA does not require premium pay solely because work happened on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day, unless weekly overtime or another law or agreement applies.
A one-off duration tool works for a single interval, a quick invoice check, or a timesheet line you need to verify before submission. A managed workflow becomes necessary when many entries repeat across employees, clients, projects, approvals, and budgets. The stronger process captures time as work happens, preserves review history, and sends approved totals to billing, payroll review, or project reporting.
Everhour fits that managed workflow by connecting tracked project time to hour-based or money-based budgets, recurring budget periods, and budget alerts. Teams that need spending control can use threshold emails and budget protection so overruns surface early before final invoices or weekly timesheet reviews create avoidable correction work for managers.

Subtract the start time from the end time, then adjust for any pause or break field your policy records outside hours actually worked. Store the result with the date and worker. For an employer record, the duration must still roll into hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek when the employee is covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions.
Useful fields include the work date, worker, start time, end time, duration, project or client, task or work category, and billable status when billing applies. Payroll records also need enough detail to support daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions.
A federal FLSA overtime review cannot average hours across two or more workweeks. The workweek is a fixed, regularly recurring 168-hour period, and covered nonexempt 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.
The FLSA does not require premium pay solely for Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or regular rest-day work. Premium pay applies under the federal baseline only when the weekly overtime rule is triggered, or when another state law, local rule, policy, contract, or agreement requires it.
Federal rules require employers to preserve payroll records for at least three years. Basic time and earnings records, including daily start and stop time cards or sheets, must be kept for at least two years. State rules, contracts, litigation holds, or internal retention policies can require longer retention.
Everhour Project Budgeting turns tracked project time into hour-based or money-based budget progress. Teams can set recurring budget periods and receive 75%, 90%, 100%, or custom threshold alerts, with budget protection available to stop extra logging after a project exceeds its limit.
Everhour embeds time tracking controls inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. A team can record duration on the task where work happens, while entries flow back to Everhour for centralized review.
Move from isolated intervals to budget-aware tracking. Everhour connects tracked time to hour-based and money-based budgets, recurring periods, threshold alerts, and budget protection for stronger project control.
