Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use this page to track work time while you work in Opera, especially when project notes, client requests, or task details sit in browser tabs. The practical goal is a usable time record, not a rough memory of the day. A good entry connects the person, date, project, task, start and stop time, total hours, and notes that explain the work.
Opera does not change U.S. wage-and-hour rules or billing logic. It changes the workflow: you can keep the source task, email, ticket, or document open in one tab and enter time in another. On shared computers, avoid saving employee names, rates, or client details through browser autofill when those fields contain personal or sensitive business information.
Covered employers under the FLSA must keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, and those records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the minimum wage or overtime provisions. A time tracking app should make those daily and weekly totals easy to review without forcing payroll staff to rebuild the week from scattered notes.
For billing, the useful fields are more detailed: client, project, task, billable status, rate, comments, and approval status. A clean entry can read: design review, Acme website, 2.25 hours, billable, $95 per hour, notes attached. That structure supports an invoice later and gives a manager enough detail to approve, reject, or correct the time before it reaches payroll or a client.
Browser-based time tracking works best when entries follow a consistent rule. Use timers for active task work and manual entries for work recorded after the fact. Label manual corrections clearly so a reviewer can distinguish time captured during the task from time added later. Mixing both methods is normal, but unexplained edits create questions during billing review.
Federal overtime for covered non-exempt employees is based on a fixed 168-hour workweek. Unless exempt, covered 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. Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or rest-day work does not create federal overtime premium pay by itself unless the weekly overtime rule, another law, or a policy or contract applies.
A free browser workflow is enough when you need to capture a small set of hours, prepare a simple billing summary, or document a short project. It starts to break down when several people submit time, managers need approvals, clients expect consistent invoice detail, or payroll review depends on locked weekly records.
Everhour fits the managed workflow when tracked time needs to become operational reporting. Teams can turn logged hours, budgets, costs, and project details into customizable reports with more than 45 columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, exports, scheduled email delivery, profitability dashboards, and overtime visibility through Team Hours and custom reports.

Opera does not change the time record itself. The same entry still needs the worker, date, project or task, and hours worked. For U.S. covered employers, FLSA records for non-exempt workers must show hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek when the employee is covered by the minimum wage or overtime provisions.
The most useful fields are date, worker, project, task, start time, stop time, total hours, billable status, rate, and notes. Browser-based tracking often happens next to source material, so use the notes field to reference the ticket, page, request, or deliverable that explains the work.
Autofill is convenient for personal use, but shared devices need stricter handling. Employee names, rates, client names, and work notes can contain personal or sensitive business information. U.S. businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act and should collect only needed data, protect it, and dispose of it securely.
A browser time record can support overtime review if it preserves daily hours and weekly totals. FLSA overtime for covered non-exempt employees applies after 40 hours in a fixed 168-hour workweek, and hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes.
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. State rules, contracts, audits, or client requirements can require longer retention, so keep the stricter rule when more than one applies.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into reports with more than 45 columns, metadata filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports to CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Teams can schedule recurring email reports and review profitability, billability, payroll, budget, and overtime visibility from the same tracked time.
Track approved hours, review them by project or person, and use Everhour Reporting to export, schedule, and share the operational reports that billing and payroll review need.
