Everhour connects tracked hours to budgets and billing, so trial users can test the full workflow before committing.
Enter your time in and out for each day. Overtime and gross pay are calculated automatically.

The calculator gives you the number — Everhour takes it from there.
One click and you're timing. Start a timer, add an entry, edit the details. This is exactly how it feels in Everhour.
Set a budget, assign rates, and get alerted before you're over.
Measurement
Track your budget through time or costs
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 trial to answer one concrete question: can this setup capture the hours your team needs for billing, payroll review, project budgets, or utilization reporting? A timer alone gives you a duration. A usable time tracking workflow connects that duration to the person, date, project, client, task, and billable status that explain why the time matters.
Pick one representative week instead of testing random entries. Include normal project work, admin time, a client meeting, and one correction after the fact. That mix shows whether the workflow handles the real behavior of your team, including late entries, project switching, and non-billable work that still affects capacity.
For U.S. employers, the FLSA federal baseline requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The law does not require one specific timekeeping form or system, so a trial should prove that the method is complete, accurate, and usable before the records support payroll review.
For client work, record project, client, task, billable status, and rate in U.S. dollars when billing in the United States. For internal work, keep non-billable categories visible instead of hiding them in notes. A clean weekly record shows both the time you charge and the time that explains staffing, budget pressure, and delivery delays.
A free trial earns its place when it tests more than a stopwatch. Check whether users can start timers while working, enter missed time manually, edit obvious mistakes, and submit a complete week without help. Managers should be able to review totals by person, project, and client without rebuilding the same spreadsheet every Friday.
Run one billing or payroll-style review before the trial ends. Confirm that exported or reported data shows the date range, user, project, task, billable time, and comments needed for approval. A trial that feels fast during entry can still fail if the closing review requires manual cleanup, duplicate data entry, or missing project context.
A one-off trial is enough when you only need to compare timer behavior, test a weekly total, or decide whether people will actually log time. It stops being enough when tracked time must feed budgets, approvals, invoices, payroll review, or client reporting every week. At that point, the workflow needs rules and a durable record.
Everhour Project Budgeting turns tracked time into time or money budget progress, with recurring periods, threshold email alerts, budget protection, expense inclusion controls, multiple billing methods, and client-level budgets. That matters when a trial moves from checking whether tracking works to managing project limits across active client work.

Test the full weekly cycle: time entry, corrections, submission, manager review, reports, and export. Include billable and non-billable work, project switching, and at least one late manual entry. A trial should prove that the workflow works after the timer stops, especially when finance, payroll, or client billing needs clean records.
A free trial can test the method, but the employer remains responsible for accurate records. Under the FLSA federal baseline, covered employers must keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, including daily hours worked and total weekly hours worked. Payroll records must be kept at least three years, while basic time and earnings records must be kept at least two years.
Test both. Timers capture time as work happens, while manual entries cover missed starts, offline work, and corrections after the task is done. A practical trial separates those entry types so managers can see whether the team relies on real-time tracking or reconstructed timesheets at the end of the week.
A trial can reveal weekly totals that need review. Under the FLSA federal baseline, covered non-exempt 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. Hours cannot be averaged across two or more workweeks for that federal overtime calculation.
Testing only one person for one quiet day gives a false result. A better trial includes several roles, a complete workweek, multiple projects, and at least one manager review. The workflow must handle ordinary messiness, including missed timers, task changes, non-billable work, and records that need approval before billing or payroll use.
Everhour Project Budgeting connects tracked time to hour-based or money-based budgets, including recurring budget periods and threshold email alerts. During a trial, a team can see whether active work pushes a project toward 75%, 90%, or 100% of its budget before the project overruns.
Everhour can run as a standalone tracker or embed time tracking controls inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Teams can track time on the task where work already happens, then use the logged time for reports and review.
Test the workflow once, then manage active projects with budget alerts, protected limits, and billing-ready records. Everhour connects tracked time to project budgeting for cleaner control.
