A payroll workflow starts with the hours each worker actually worked, grouped by person, day, week, and pay period. For U.S. covered nonexempt employees, FLSA records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. A complete record also needs enough context to explain the entry, such as the project, department, job code, or pay category used by payroll.
Payroll tracking does not require one specific federal timekeeping format. The FLSA allows any complete and accurate method for covered nonexempt workers. A payroll app earns its place by keeping the record usable after the week closes: submitted hours, approvals, correction notes, exports, and a clear boundary between tracked time and the payroll system that calculates pay.
A payroll handoff works best after the timesheet has been reviewed. The payroll file or integration should identify the worker, date range, approved hours, rates or pay codes, and any project or department codes that payroll needs. If the team uses contractors, the same rule applies: the tracked time must match the contract or pay arrangement before money moves.
For a concrete payroll integration, Everhour exports approved time entries to Deel for pay-as-you-go contracts. A new export requires an Everhour user, a time-entry date range, and the matching Deel contract. Admins can preview entries before sending them, keep separate task entries, merge them into one daily row, or group exported time by task, project, or one combined batch.
The common mistake is treating a payroll export as the original time record. The export moves selected data into payroll, but the timekeeping system still needs the daily and weekly source records, change history, approvals, and correction path. Employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, such as daily start and stop records, for at least two years.
Another mistake is averaging busy and slow weeks. Under the FLSA, a workweek is a fixed, regularly recurring period of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Unless exempt, covered 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 of pay. Saturday, Sunday, or holiday work does not create federal overtime premium pay by itself.
A simple tracker is enough when one person needs a clean weekly total, a downloadable record, or a quick way to confirm hours before payroll entry. That setup works for low-volume payroll as long as the record captures daily hours, weekly totals, worker identity, and edits. It becomes fragile when multiple people submit late changes or managers need to approve time before payroll runs.
A managed workflow fits teams that need submitted timesheets, approvals, locked periods, correction history, and export controls. Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let managers approve, reject, partially approve, or lock time before payroll or billing uses it. That approval layer gives payroll a reviewed record instead of a loose set of entries.

Federal law does not require one specific time clock, app, spreadsheet, or paper form. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. State rules, contracts, union agreements, or internal policy can require a stricter method.
Payroll needs the worker, date, pay period, daily hours, weekly totals, and any pay code, rate, project, department, or contract identifier used to process pay. For covered nonexempt employees, daily and weekly hour totals matter because FLSA overtime is tested by workweek, not by pay period total.
Approved entries can feed payroll when the receiving system accepts the needed fields and the records match the worker's pay setup. In Everhour's Deel workflow, approved time entries export from Everhour to a selected Deel pay-as-you-go contract after an admin chooses the user and date range and reviews the preview.
Duplicate exports can overstate payable hours if the payroll system accepts the same period twice. Everhour warns about periods already sent to Deel and does not allow the same time to be exported twice. If new time is added to a previously exported week, the export must be redone with the correct cleanup in Deel.
Break tracking matters when the payroll total should reflect time at work minus unpaid break time. Everhour Timecards calculate a day's working hours from the first clock-in to the last clock-out, reduced by total break duration. Clock-in, clock-out, and break actions are logged with change history.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person so managers can review submitted time before payroll. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock entries, which gives payroll a controlled record instead of unreviewed individual time logs.
Everhour sends approved time entries to Deel for pay-as-you-go contractor payroll. Admins choose the Everhour user, date range, and Deel contract, then preview the entries and group them by task, project, or one combined batch before export.
Use Everhour Timesheets to collect weekly hours, review submissions, lock approved entries, and pass payroll a cleaner record with fewer late changes and fewer manual checks.
