Use this page when you need to record work from a PC without building a full timekeeping process first. Keep the task source open in a second window, then capture the project, task, start time, stop time, breaks, notes, and billable status while the context is still visible. A clean entry beats a vague end-of-day total because it preserves the work reason, client, and time period.
For U.S. employers covered by the FLSA, the recordkeeping issue is accuracy, not a mandated device. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but it does not require a particular timekeeping form or system. 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 time entry needs enough structure to answer four questions: who worked, what they worked on, when the work happened, and where the time should be charged. Use person, date, project, task, start and stop times or duration, break time, billable status, rate or cost code if relevant, and a short note. Billing and payroll fields for U.S. users usually use U.S. dollars.
For example, a designer can record March 5, 2026, Acme website, homepage revision, 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., billable, $85 per hour, with the note "updated hero layout and exported image assets." The note explains the output without collecting unnecessary personal detail. The rate field helps billing; the date and daily total help payroll review.
Computer work often fragments across email, documents, project tools, chat, and meetings. Start a timer when the work begins, pause it for policy-designated unpaid breaks, and switch tasks when the project or client changes. Manual entries work for cleanup, but same-day corrections keep the record stronger than a reconstructed Friday afternoon total.
Privacy matters because time records identify employees, work patterns, and sometimes client activity. U.S. businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act. FTC guidance says businesses keeping sensitive personal information about employees should collect only what they need, keep it safe, and dispose of it securely. Covered businesses with California employees or job applicants also need to consider CCPA employment-data obligations after the exemptions expired on December 31, 2022.
A single tracker is enough for a freelancer logging one client, a manager checking a short project, or an owner reconstructing a few recent work sessions. It stops being enough when multiple people submit time, managers approve or reject entries, invoices depend on billable hours, or payroll needs locked records. At that point, the time record must move through review instead of staying as a private note.
Everhour fits that managed stage by connecting time entries to reporting, budgets, invoices, and approval workflows. Teams can keep tracking against tasks and projects, then use reports and approved timesheets as the review layer before billing or payroll. That creates a system of record for recurring work and removes the weekly spreadsheet rebuild.

A digital tracker can meet the federal baseline when it captures complete and accurate time data. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but it does not require a specific form or system. Keep payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, such as time cards or sheets, for at least two years.
Timers work best for live task switching because they record the work period as it happens. Manual entries work for corrections, meetings, and missed starts, but they need the same required details: date, person, work period, project or task, and note. A team policy should define when manual edits are allowed and who reviews them.
Evening work does not create federal overtime by itself. Under the FLSA, unless exempt, covered employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate. State law, local law, employer policy, or a contract can add premium-pay rules.
Review daily hours worked for each workday and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions. Payroll review should also check workweek boundaries because FLSA overtime uses a fixed, regularly recurring seven-day workweek, and hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks.
The most common cleanup problem is a large block of time with no task, client, break detail, or work reason. That entry may be hard to bill, hard to approve, and hard to connect to daily and weekly totals. Fix the problem at entry time with project, task, start and stop time, and a short work note.
Everhour Reporting turns logged task and project time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and formatting. Managers can build views for billable time, labor costs, invoice status, budgets, or overtime visibility in Team Hours and custom reports, then download or schedule them for review.
Everhour embeds tracking controls inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Users can start a timer or add manual time on tasks, so tracked work stays tied to the project record that managers already review.
Everhour Reporting turns tracked project time into grouped, filtered views with 45+ columns, exports, and scheduled delivery, giving teams a clear billing and payroll review path.
