Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use this page to create a clean record of time spent on client tasks, internal projects, admin work, meetings, and rework. On a computer, keep the project board, job brief, or ticket queue open in another tab or window while you enter time so each entry points to the right assignment. The result should be usable for payroll review, client billing, project reporting, or a manager's weekly approval process.
For U.S. employers, the baseline is accuracy rather than a mandated clock. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, and for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions those records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. A complete time record gives the date, person, work item, duration, and notes needed to explain the work later.
Each entry needs a worker, date, project or client, task, time amount, and billable status when billing applies. Add start and stop times if the record supports payroll review, scheduling checks, or audit trails. Use U.S. dollars for rate and billing fields in U.S. workflows. Notes should identify the deliverable or decision. A vague label such as "work" leaves too little context.
A steady workflow starts with choosing the level of detail before the week begins. Track by task when invoices or project estimates need precision. Track by project when the only required output is a weekly total by job. Record paid time not worked, such as time off, separately from hours actually worked if your payroll or reporting process reviews those categories. Mixing those categories makes overtime, utilization, and billing reports harder to reconcile.
Time tracking usually gives you two practical choices: start a timer while the work is active, or enter the time after the work is complete. Timers fit focused task work because they capture elapsed time with fewer memory gaps. Manual entries fit meetings, updates, or work reconstructed from a calendar. A useful workflow labels the entry method, so managers can review patterns without treating every entry as equally precise.
Set a cutoff for corrections. Same-day edits preserve more context than end-of-week reconstruction. Edits made after payroll or billing review need a reason. Employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, such as daily start and stop time cards or sheets, for at least two years. A time app should leave finished records accessible for those retention periods and prevent quiet changes after approval.
A one-off tool is enough when one person needs a clean weekly timesheet, a project hour summary, or a quick CSV for a client file. It also works for short projects with few edits and no approval cycle. The risk starts when the same data feeds payroll, invoice review, budget control, and staffing decisions, because re-keying hours across tools creates mismatched totals and missing context.
A managed workflow earns its keep when tracked time must move into reports, budgets, approvals, and billing without rebuilding the same record. Everhour fits that long-running workflow by logging time against tasks and projects, then turning the entries into customizable reports for managers, finance, and project leads. Teams that need approved timesheets, locked periods, budget alerts, or scheduled reporting need a system of record for those controls.

Yes, if the records are complete and accurate. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but it does not require a specific timekeeping form or system. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records must show hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Weekly overtime review starts with the employer's fixed workweek, a regularly recurring period of 168 hours made of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. 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 employee's regular rate of pay. Hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks.
The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely because work happens on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. The federal baseline turns on weekly hours for covered nonexempt employees, unless another federal, state, or local rule, policy, contract, or collective bargaining agreement gives the worker a separate premium.
Late reconstruction creates the biggest error because the worker relies on memory after the source task, calendar, or ticket has faded. Vague notes also break review because a manager cannot tell which client, project, or deliverable used the time. A reliable entry ties the duration to a date, person, work item, and category before approval or billing.
Federal rules require employers to preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, such as daily start and stop time cards or sheets, for at least two years. Privacy obligations also matter. Under Section 5 of the FTC Act, businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices and follow data-security obligations. For covered businesses, California resident employee and job-applicant time-tracking data may fall under the CCPA because employment-data exemptions expired on December 31, 2022.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into customizable reports with 45+ columns. Managers can group time by project, client, member, or billing status, filter by date range or metadata, and export reports as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for finance review.
Everhour Time Tracking adds timers and manual entries to supported project tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. A user can log time against the task already open, keeping project work and time capture in the same workflow.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time into grouped, filtered, scheduled reports for payroll review, billing, budgets, and project decisions, giving teams one reviewable source of truth.
