Measurement
Track your budget through time or costs
Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
You are here to capture work time by person, project, task, date, and note, then use those records for billing, payroll review, or project reporting. On an iPad, keep the source task list open in Split View while entering time so the entry reflects the work completed rather than a memory from Friday afternoon.
The outcome is a usable time record instead of a pile of rough notes. Freelancers need enough detail to invoice a client, while managers need enough structure to review attendance, billable work, and project costs. For U.S. payroll, the record has to identify hours actually worked clearly enough for wage, overtime, and leave review.
Start with the fields that survive review: worker name, date, project or client, task, start and stop time or duration, break time if tracked separately, billable status, rate, currency, and a short work note. U.S. rate fields normally use USD. For payroll-facing records, separate hours actually worked from paid time not worked because those categories affect wage, overtime, and leave review differently.
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. The FLSA does not require a particular form or system, so a spreadsheet, paper sheet, mobile log, or app can work if the record is complete and accurate. Covered employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records for at least two years.
Touch entry makes short notes easy, but vague labels create cleanup later. Use stable names for projects and tasks, and reserve comments for the business reason for the time. A note such as "Client A, draft invoice review, 45 minutes" is clearer than "admin" because it tells a reviewer why the time exists. If you use dictation or autocomplete, review client names and amounts before submitting the record.
Mobile entries also raise privacy and data minimization issues. FTC guidance says businesses that keep sensitive personal information about customers or employees should collect only what they need, protect it, and dispose of it securely. California adds a concrete employee-data example: the CCPA covers California residents who are employees or job applicants, and the employment-data exemptions expired on December 31, 2022, for covered businesses.
A one-off log is enough for a solo invoice, a short client handoff, or a quick reconstruction of one workday. It works best when you have few projects, no approval step, and no recurring reporting deadline. Save the finished record before closing the session so the time data does not live only in a browser tab.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when multiple people track time, managers need approval trails, or billing depends on recurring reports. Everhour supports that managed workflow by sending logged task and project time into configurable reporting, with grouping, filters, date ranges, and export formats for review. That structure gives finance, operations, and project leads the same time source instead of separate weekly summaries.

Yes, if the record is complete and accurate for the worker category and jurisdiction involved. Under the FLSA, covered employers may choose any timekeeping method, but records for employees covered by the minimum wage or overtime provisions must show hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. State wage and privacy rules can add requirements.
Use a timer for active task work when you can start and stop it in real time. Use manual input for missed entries, corrections, or work reconstructed from a reliable source. A defensible process labels the date, task, project, person, and time amount consistently. Same-day manual entries reduce guesswork compared with end-of-week reconstruction.
Include the worker, work date, project or client, task, start and stop time or duration, billable status, and a concise note describing the work. Add rate, currency, and invoice code when the record supports billing. U.S. payroll records also need daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions.
No. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely because a covered nonexempt employee worked on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. The federal overtime baseline applies to hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek, at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate, unless another law or agreement gives more.
Write enough detail for a reviewer to identify the business purpose without collecting unnecessary personal information. A useful note names the task and deliverable, such as "budget update for March forecast." Avoid medical details, private customer information, and sensitive employee comments unless a policy or legal requirement makes the detail necessary for the record.
Everhour Reporting lets teams build custom reports from logged time with 45+ columns, including task, project, client, member, comments, billable time, labor costs, and invoice status. Managers can group, filter, set date ranges, and export reports as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for billing or operational review.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours for manager review. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members, so corrections happen through the approval flow before payroll, billing, or reporting uses the entries.
Everhour Reporting converts logged project time into grouped, filtered reports with CSV, Excel/XLSX, and PDF exports, giving managers a durable review trail beyond a one-off log.
