Building a reliable weekly time record

Finish a usable timesheet

A timesheet gives you a structured record of work time for a day, week, project, client, or pay period. For a simple weekly review, the core job is direct: enter each workday, list the project or task, separate billable and non-billable time when needed, and total the week before submitting or filing the record.

For U.S. wage-and-hour records, the FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, but it does not require one specific timekeeping form. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. A complete timesheet supports that baseline.

Include the fields that matter

A practical timesheet needs the employee or contractor name, date, start and stop times or daily totals, project or client, task description, billable status, rate when used for billing, and notes for corrections. U.S. billing and payroll fields normally use U.S. dollars. A weekly layout works well because payroll, project review, and federal overtime checks often happen by workweek.

A workweek under the FLSA is a fixed period of 168 hours, made from seven consecutive 24-hour periods. For covered non-exempt employees, federal overtime applies to hours worked over 40 in a workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate. Hours from two or more workweeks cannot be averaged for FLSA overtime purposes.

Avoid common timesheet mistakes

Late reconstruction creates weak records. A person filling Friday's entries from memory often rounds task time, forgets small client work, or assigns internal meetings to the wrong project. Daily entry or timer-based capture keeps the record closer to the work that actually happened, especially when the same person switches between clients or tasks.

Weekend and holiday entries need careful handling. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely for Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or regular rest-day work unless the weekly overtime rule is triggered or another law, policy, contract, or agreement applies. A timesheet should record the hours accurately first, then payroll rules decide the premium treatment.

Move beyond one weekly sheet

A free timesheet is enough for a one-off record, a simple contractor invoice backup, or a small weekly total that does not need approval history. It works when one person controls the entry, review, and filing. Save the finished record in a consistent format and keep corrections visible.

A managed workflow becomes necessary when tracked time feeds client billing, payroll review, project budgets, or manager approval. Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, allow submission for review, and let managers approve, reject, partially approve, and lock time entries before those records move downstream.

Frequently Asked Questions

What belongs on a weekly timesheet?

A weekly timesheet should identify the worker, dates, daily hours, weekly total, project or client, task description, billable status, and approval status when review is required. 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.

Is a timesheet the same as a payroll record?

A timesheet is one source record for payroll review, not the entire payroll file. 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 rules, contracts, and internal policies can require more.

Can a timesheet use total hours instead of clock times?

A complete and accurate method can use the format that fits the workplace, because the FLSA does not require a specific timekeeping form or system. The record still needs daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions.

Should billable time and working time match?

Billable time and working time can differ. Working time records the time actually spent working. Billable time records the portion charged to a client under the agreement. Internal meetings, admin work, training, or write-offs may appear as working time without becoming billable time.

Which timesheet mistake causes the most review work?

Mixing weeks creates the most payroll friction. Federal overtime for covered non-exempt employees is based on hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek, and hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes. Keep each week separate before calculating payroll or billing totals.

How does Everhour Timesheets support payroll and billing review?

Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then route submitted time to managers for approval. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock entries, which gives payroll and billing reviewers a clear status before records are used.

Can Everhour keep timesheets connected to project work?

Everhour can track time inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Time logged on tasks flows into one reporting layer, so teams can review project hours without rebuilding timesheets from separate work logs.

Keep timesheets ready for review

Track weekly hours, submit them for approval, and lock reviewed entries before payroll or billing work starts. Everhour gives teams a clearer timesheet approval workflow.
