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.
A time tracking report should start with the decision you need to make. Payroll review needs daily hours worked, weekly totals, pay period dates, worker names, and approval status. Client billing needs project, task, client, billable status, rate, and invoice period. Project review needs hours against estimates, budget status, and non-billable work that reduced available capacity.
U.S. employers should also separate legal recordkeeping from management reporting. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, but it does not require one specific timekeeping form or system. A spreadsheet, time clock, or software report can work when the record is complete and accurate enough to show the required hours.
For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. Reports should preserve the workweek, not just the pay period, because federal overtime is measured over a fixed, regularly recurring 168-hour workweek.
Covered non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at not less than one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay. Reports should avoid averaging hours across two or more workweeks. A 46-hour week followed by a 34-hour week still needs a separate overtime review for the first week.
The best practice is to review exceptions before exporting or approving time. Flag missing days, unusually high daily totals, manual edits after submission, unassigned time, and billable hours without a client or project. A report that only totals the period can hide the exact day or task that needs correction.
Weekend and holiday work also needs careful labeling. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely for Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or regular rest-day work. Premium pay can still apply when weekly overtime is triggered or when another law, policy, contract, or agreement requires it. Reports should show the date and workweek so reviewers can apply the correct rule.
A one-off weekly report is enough when you need a quick total, a basic client summary, or a short payroll check for a small batch of entries. Keep the source records, the report period, the worker, the project, and the approval note together so the number can be traced later.
A managed workflow fits when tracked time feeds payroll, billing, approvals, budgets, and recurring reports. Everhour can collect task and project hours through timers or manual entries, then route those hours into submitted timesheets, manager review, locked approved records, and reporting across projects and clients.

A practical report includes worker name, date, workweek, daily hours worked, total weekly hours, project or client, task, billable status, rate when needed, notes, submission status, and approval status. Payroll reports need daily and weekly hour detail for covered non-exempt workers under the FLSA. Billing reports need enough project and client detail to support the invoice.
No. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, but it does not require a specific timekeeping method. A timer, timesheet, time clock, or software system can work when the records are complete and accurate. The chosen method must show required details such as hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Reports should group time by the fixed 168-hour workweek used by the employer. Covered non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at at least 1.5 times the regular rate. Reports should not average hours across multiple workweeks because FLSA overtime is weekly.
Yes, when those hours affect review. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay only because work happened on a Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or regular rest day. Separate labels still help reviewers apply weekly overtime, state rules, employer policy, contract terms, or client billing rules when those rules treat the time differently.
Federal rules require employers to 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 law, contracts, audits, or internal policy can require longer retention, so reports should be stored with the underlying entries and approvals.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let users submit time for manager review. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock submitted or approved entries before payroll, billing, or reporting uses the time.
Use Everhour Timesheets to collect weekly hours, review exceptions, approve or reject submissions, and lock approved time before payroll or billing decisions.
