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.
Use the phone at the moment work starts, after a client call, or before leaving a job site. On an iPhone, shorter task labels and notes are easier to enter accurately, so keep the required fields tight and finish longer descriptions later if needed. The result should show the date, person, work performed, project or client, and time actually worked.
Turn scattered work moments into entries that support billing, payroll review, project reporting, and manager approval. You need a record that shows who worked, the date, the task or project, the hours, and whether the time is billable. For U.S. employers, records for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
A complete entry identifies the worker, date, project or client, task, hours, and a short note that explains the work. Time-based billing records also need billable status, a rate field in USD for U.S. users, and a clear connection to the invoice line. Payroll review needs the same hours grouped by the employer's workweek, because weekly totals drive federal overtime checks for covered nonexempt employees.
A sample entry can stay concise: March 5, 2026, Alex Rivera, ACME onboarding, data import setup, 2.25 hours, billable, $85 per hour, note: mapped customer fields and tested import errors. Separate unrelated work into separate entries, even on the same day. Under federal recordkeeping rules, employers must keep 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.
Mobile tracking breaks down when entries rely on end-of-week memory. Use a timer for active work that starts and stops clearly. Use a manual entry for work already finished, then add the reason in the note. Short project names, consistent task lists, and required billable fields reduce cleanup because the person entering time can select instead of typing every detail from scratch.
U.S. payroll review also needs the right weekly boundary. A workweek under the FLSA is a fixed, regularly recurring period of seven consecutive 24-hour periods, or 168 hours. Hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes. Covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at at least 1.5 times the regular rate.
A one-off tracker is enough for a solo work log, a single client invoice, or a weekly summary that only you review. It works when the work categories are simple, nobody else needs to approve entries, and totals can move into the next payroll or billing step without reconciling several people's records. Save the time detail before clearing phone data or replacing the device.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when multiple people track the same projects, managers approve time, budgets change as hours accrue, or invoices must match approved entries. Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through timers or manual entries, then feeds timesheets, reporting, budgeting, invoicing, and payroll review. Admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer auto-stop rules to protect the record after review.

Each entry should include the worker, date, project or client, task, hours worked, and a short description. Time-based billing records also need billable status, rate, and invoice grouping. For payroll review, the daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek matter more than a long narrative.
Timers suit active work with a clear start and stop, such as a client call, focused task, or field visit. Manual entries suit completed work that did not get captured in the moment. The mistake to avoid is entering a single weekly total with no daily project detail behind it.
Yes. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, employer records must show hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The FLSA lets covered employers choose any complete and accurate timekeeping method, so the format can vary as long as the required detail is preserved.
Sunday work alone does not create a federal overtime premium under the FLSA. 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. State law, local rules, a policy, or a contract can create a different requirement.
Mobile time notes should collect only the work detail needed for payroll, billing, or project review. U.S. businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act, and FTC guidance says sensitive employee information should be collected only as needed, secured, and disposed of safely. For covered businesses, California's CCPA can also apply to employee and job-applicant time-tracking data because employment-data exemptions expired on December 31, 2022.
Everhour Time Tracking lets users log task and project hours with timers or manual entries, including through the iOS mobile app and supported project tools. Those entries feed timesheets, reporting, budgeting, invoicing, and payroll review, while admins use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer auto-stop rules to control the workflow.
Track task and project hours with timers or manual entries, then route submitted time through approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer auto-stop rules. Everhour turns mobile tracking into reviewed billing and payroll records.
