Remote team hours and records

Turn scattered work into records

Remote teams need a practical way to turn home-based work, meetings, async tasks, and work outside shared hours into a usable time record. In 2024, 32.5% of employed U.S. workers who worked on an average day did some work at home, averaging 5.14 hours at home on those days. A useful record shows the workday, the workweek, the project, and the type of work completed.

For U.S. covered non-exempt workers, remote work does not erase FLSA recordkeeping duties. Employer records must include hours worked each day and total hours worked each workweek, and the FLSA does not require one specific timekeeping format. The record can come from a timer, a timesheet, or another complete and accurate method, as long as known remote hours worked are captured.

Separate meeting and async time

Remote teams often work across time zones, so one daily total hides too much. Buffer reported that 74% of remote-work survey respondents had companies operating across multiple time zones, and 62% had immediate teams distributed across multiple time zones. A better record separates meetings, focused project work, admin time, and unscheduled work performed outside shared hours.

Meeting time deserves its own label because it competes with delivery time. Buffer reported that 52% of remote workers spent 1-5 hours per week in meetings and 23% spent 6-10 hours. A product manager might record 2 hours for sprint planning, 3.5 hours for ticket review, 1 hour for client updates, and 12 hours for async project work in the same week.

Protect flexibility without losing detail

Remote time tracking should support flexible work without turning every minute into surveillance. Buffer reported that 71% of remote workers considered work-life boundaries very important and 22% somewhat important, while 48% said they frequently work outside traditional hours. The record should make those boundaries visible by showing scheduled work, approved overtime, and work that happened outside the expected day.

For U.S. telework and remote-work employees, Department of Labor guidance says employees must be paid for all hours worked that the employer knows or has reason to believe were performed, including unscheduled work at home. Covered non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at not less than 1.5 times the regular rate, unless an exemption applies.

Move from totals to workflow

A one-off weekly total is enough when you only need to understand where a remote team's time went for a single week. It works for a quick check on meeting load, async work, or a project handoff. It is weaker when managers need repeatable review, approved timesheets, client billing, payroll support, or trend reporting across projects and time zones.

Everhour fits the managed side of that workflow by turning tracked hours into customizable reports. Teams can group and filter entries by project, client, member, task, date range, billable time, labor cost, invoice status, and integration fields, then export CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF reports when finance, operations, or clients need a record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does remote work require a special time tracking system?

No. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, but it does not require a particular timekeeping form or system. A remote team can use timers, manual timesheets, or another complete and accurate method. For covered non-exempt workers, the record must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.

Should remote teams track meetings separately from project work?

Yes, separate categories make the record useful for planning. Remote teams commonly split time between synchronous meetings and asynchronous work, and a single daily total hides that balance. Track meetings, focused project work, admin work, and unscheduled work separately so managers can see whether calendar load, time-zone coverage, or project delivery is consuming the week.

Do remote employees need to record work outside normal hours?

Yes, known remote hours worked belong in the time record. U.S. Department of Labor guidance says telework and remote-work employees must be paid for all hours worked that the employer knows or has reason to believe were performed, including unscheduled work at home. A policy can require approval, but the record still needs to capture known work performed.

Can remote hours be averaged across two workweeks?

No, FLSA overtime is based on a fixed workweek of 168 hours, meaning seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes. For U.S. covered non-exempt employees, hours worked over 40 in a workweek require overtime pay at at least 1.5 times the regular rate, unless an exemption applies.

Which remote time tracking mistake creates payroll risk?

The common mistake is treating flexible work as informal work. A chat response, late ticket fix, customer update, or early meeting can still be hours worked if the employer knows or has reason to believe it was performed. Covered non-exempt remote workers need daily and weekly hour records that include known unscheduled work, not only preapproved calendar blocks.

How does Everhour Reporting help remote teams review time?

Everhour Reporting turns logged time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, grouping, metadata filters, date ranges, and conditional formatting. A remote manager can review time by member, project, client, task, billable time, labor cost, invoice status, or integration field, then export the report as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF.

How does Everhour work inside remote teams' project tools?

Everhour can embed time tracking inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Remote teammates can track time where tasks already live, while managers get one reporting layer for project hours, budgets, utilization, and billing.

Build cleaner remote reports

Track remote work by task, project, person, and week, then use Everhour Reporting to group, filter, schedule, and export the records that support planning, billing, and payroll review.
