This page is for choosing and using an app that turns worked time into a usable record. The practical output is a week of entries you can review by person, date, project, client, task, and billable status. For U.S. wage-and-hour records, covered employers must keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Use the app to answer four operational questions without rebuilding the week from memory: who worked, where the time went, which work is billable, and which totals need approval. A freelancer may need clean client lines for an invoice. A manager may need the same daily hours for payroll review, project budgets, utilization, and capacity planning.
Manual entry and automatic timers solve different problems. A timer records work as it happens and fits task switching, support queues, agency work, and project teams that need precise client or project allocation. Manual entry works for fixed blocks of work after the fact, such as a scheduled site visit or a planned admin block, as long as the entry remains complete and accurate.
The app should make both methods visible in review. A manager reviewing a week needs to see the date, duration, project, task, comments when needed, and whether the entry came from a live timer or a later manual edit. That separation helps catch missing time, duplicated entries, and last-minute reconstruction before totals move to payroll, billing, or reporting.
Set the tracking structure before people start logging time. Use projects for the work commitment, clients for the customer relationship, and tasks for the activity a person actually performed. Mark each entry as billable or non-billable when client charges, utilization, or margin analysis matter. U.S. billing and rate fields normally use USD, so keep rate names and invoice currency consistent.
For U.S. employers, the workweek setting matters because FLSA overtime is calculated by workweek. Covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay at not less than 1.5 times the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek. Hours cannot be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime, so configure the app's week start and approval period around that fixed period.
A one-off weekly total is enough when you need a quick self-check, a draft invoice, or a small project recap with no approval handoff. It also works for a solo operator who records time elsewhere and only needs to organize one week. The result should still show daily entries, weekly totals, and billable categories, since a single lump sum blocks review.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when multiple people submit time, managers approve entries, completed periods need locking, or admins must correct records without long message threads. Everhour Team Management supports approval workflows, lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide policy defaults, so time becomes a record that can survive payroll, billing, and planning review.

No. Under the FLSA, covered employers must keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but federal law does not require a particular timekeeping form or system. The method still needs preservation: payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, including time cards or sheets, for at least two years.
Timers fit work that changes throughout the day because the entry starts with the task. Manual entries fit planned blocks added after the work is done. A practical setup allows both, then labels timer-based and past-date manual entries separately so a reviewer can spot gaps, duplicates, and end-of-week estimates before approval.
Useful weekly records include the worker, date, daily hours worked, total hours worked in the workweek, project, client, task, billable status, and notes that explain unusual work. 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.
Time tracking records work time for payroll, billing, budgets, and project review. Employee monitoring collects activity signals such as device or application behavior. U.S. privacy duties vary by state and sector; California's CCPA covers California residents who are employees or job applicants for covered businesses, and FTC guidance calls for data minimization, security, and secure disposal.
Tag weekend or holiday work with the actual date, project, task, and any policy category your organization uses. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely for Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or regular rest-day work unless the work produces FLSA overtime for a covered nonexempt employee because hours worked exceed 40 in the workweek, or another law, policy, contract, or agreement applies.
Everhour Team Management gives admins lock rules, approval workflows, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity settings, roles, project assignments, and team groups. Managers can approve or reject submitted time, protect approved periods from edits, and correct entries for team members before payroll, billing, or capacity review.
Everhour can run standalone or embed tracking controls inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. People log time on the task or project they already use, while tracked entries flow into one reporting layer.
Set approval rules, lock reviewed periods, correct entries as an admin, and keep weekly capacity visible. Everhour Team Management turns app entries into a controlled record for payroll, billing, and planning.
