Use this page to organize daily work time from a smartphone into a clean timesheet for payroll review, client billing, or project reporting. Smartphone entry works best when the person doing the work can record time immediately after a job, meeting, site visit, support call, or project task instead of reconstructing the week later from memory.
For U.S. employers covered by the FLSA, the method can be paper, spreadsheet, app, or another complete and accurate system. The record still needs enough detail for nonexempt workers, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. A phone-friendly workflow should make those two records easy to enter and review.
A useful timesheet separates the person, date, project or client, task, start and stop details when needed, total daily hours, billable status, notes, and weekly total. For billing, add the rate category or service type, usually in U.S. dollars for U.S. users. For payroll review, separate hours actually worked from paid time not worked.
Federal overtime uses a fixed 168-hour workweek, not a daily total. Unless exempt, covered 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. Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or rest-day work does not create a federal premium by itself unless weekly overtime is triggered or another law or agreement applies.
Small screens make short entries tempting, but one weekly lump sum weakens review. A better phone entry says "Tuesday, client onboarding, implementation call, 2.25 hours, billable" instead of "client work, 12 hours." The manager can then connect time to the right project, check a daily total, and approve the week without asking for a reconstruction.
Smartphone autofill and saved text can also create errors. A reused client name, old task label, or copied note can move hours to the wrong invoice or project budget. Treat repeated values as shortcuts, then check the date, project, billable status, and daily total before submission. Sensitive employee time data also needs reasonable handling under federal privacy and data-security expectations and applicable state rules.
A simple phone-based timesheet is enough for a freelancer, a small job, or a one-off client invoice when the work is easy to describe and the record does not need repeated approvals. Keep the export or saved file with the related invoice, payroll backup, or project folder so the record remains available after the work is billed.
A managed workflow fits teams that need approvals, locked periods, reporting, accounting handoff, or recurring payroll review. Everhour can carry approved time into customizable reports with columns, grouping, filters, and exports, so phone-captured entries become usable payroll, billing, utilization, and profitability records instead of isolated notes.

Yes, if the record is complete and accurate. 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. The phone is only the entry point; the employer still needs a reliable record that payroll can review and preserve.
Start and stop times are useful when they explain the daily total, show breaks, or support an employer's timekeeping policy. The federal baseline requires accurate daily and weekly hours for covered nonexempt workers, and detailed entries make that easier to prove. Teams with job sites, shifts, or client billing disputes benefit from start and stop detail.
No. The FLSA overtime rule applies to hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek for covered nonexempt employees, regardless of the device used to record time. Hours cannot be averaged across two or more workweeks for federal overtime purposes.
Copying yesterday's entry without checking the project, task, rate, and billable status creates billing errors. Phone entry should be fast, but every saved value needs review before submission. One misplaced project label can put approved hours on the wrong invoice or make a project budget look healthier than it is.
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, grants, or client agreements can require longer retention, so the stricter requirement should drive the file policy.
Everhour Reporting turns logged hours into customizable reports with 45+ columns, metadata filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Managers can review project, client, member, billable time, labor cost, invoice status, and overtime visibility from approved time entries.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours, then managers approve, reject, or partially approve the submitted time. Submitted and approved entries are protected from regular member edits, which gives payroll and billing reviewers a cleaner record before reports or invoices use the hours.
Turn phone-captured time into scheduled reports, grouped project views, and exportable records. Everhour Reporting gives managers cleaner payroll, billing, and profitability review from the same approved hours.
