Use this page to organize salaried employee time by workday, workweek, project, client, and task. The goal is a clean weekly record that payroll, finance, or a manager can read without reconstructing hours from messages, calendar blocks, or memory. For U.S. employers, the federal baseline focuses on complete and accurate records rather than one required timekeeping device.
Salaried employee time tracking has two common jobs. First, it supports wage-and-hour records for covered nonexempt employees, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. Second, it gives teams a practical view of where salaried time goes, including billable work, internal work, project overruns, and capacity. Those two uses should stay connected but not confused.
A salaried employee can still be nonexempt. Under the FLSA, covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. Federal overtime is weekly, so hours cannot be averaged across two or more workweeks to cancel out overtime.
Federal law does not require overtime premium pay solely because a salaried employee works Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. The weekly overtime rule must be triggered, unless another law, policy, contract, or agreement creates a higher requirement. State wage laws, local rules, and company policies can add requirements, so payroll review should use the applicable jurisdiction and worker category.
A practical salaried time record should separate working hours from project hours. Working hours answer the payroll and capacity question. Project hours answer the management and billing question. Track the date, employee, project, task, client when relevant, billable status, and comments for unusual entries. U.S. billing and rate fields normally use USD.
Manual entry works when employees add time promptly and managers review it before payroll, billing, or reporting. Timers work better for teams that need task-level detail throughout the week. A consultant might log 6 hours to a client implementation, 1 hour to internal planning, and 1 hour to non-billable support on the same day. That split gives payroll a daily total and gives managers usable project data.
A one-off weekly total is enough when you need a quick view of salaried time for a single period, a staffing check, or a billing estimate. It is also enough for a small team testing which categories to track before committing to a full process. The record still needs consistent dates, workweek boundaries, and categories that match the purpose.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when salaried time feeds payroll review, client billing, project budgets, or utilization reporting every period. Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through timers or manual entries, works inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp, and feeds timesheets, reporting, budgeting, invoicing, and payroll review.

Salaried employees need time records when their role, employer, law, billing process, or internal policy requires them. Under the FLSA, covered employers must keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. Salary alone does not prove an employee is exempt from overtime recordkeeping concerns.
Yes. 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 of pay. The federal workweek is a fixed, regularly recurring 168-hour period, and FLSA overtime hours cannot be averaged across multiple workweeks.
No. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but it does not require a specific timekeeping form or system. A timer, timesheet, spreadsheet, or app can work if the records are complete, accurate, and kept for the required period.
Yes, when the team uses salaried time for project budgets, client billing, utilization, or staffing decisions. Billable status shows which hours can move to an invoice, while non-billable categories show internal meetings, administration, training, and support work. Mixing those categories makes profitability and capacity reports less useful.
Yes, time records can contain personal employee information. U.S. privacy obligations vary by sector and state, while federal FTC rules require businesses to avoid unfair or deceptive practices and handle sensitive personal information responsibly. California's CCPA can apply to employee and applicant data for covered businesses.
Everhour Time Tracking lets salaried employees record task and project hours with live timers or manual entries, including inside supported project tools. Admin controls cover reminders, locked periods, approval workflows, and timer rules so reviewed time can feed timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time into configurable reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and export options. Teams can review project, client, member, billable time, labor cost, budget, and invoice status data without rebuilding weekly summaries by hand.
Capture salaried work as it happens, then review approved hours before payroll, billing, or reporting. Everhour connects task time to the records teams need for cleaner follow-through.
