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 this page to organize time for a day, week, project, client, or task. The practical goal is a record you can use for billing, payroll review, project budgeting, or utilization reporting without rebuilding the week from memory. A useful entry ties time to a person, date, task, project, client, and billable status.
For U.S. employers, time tracking also supports wage-and-hour records. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, and those records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions. The law does not require one specific timekeeping form or system.
Start with the unit you need to manage: client, project, task, or work category. Then record the date, start and stop time or total duration, billable status, and notes that explain the work. A billing entry such as "Design review, Client A, Website refresh, 2.5 hours, billable" gives the invoice and project report enough context.
Payroll review needs a different level of discipline. 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 employee's regular rate of pay, unless exempt. A workweek is a fixed 168-hour period, and FLSA overtime hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks.
Manual entry works for people who record time immediately after each task or at the end of each day. It breaks down when someone reconstructs Friday's work from calendar blocks, chat messages, and memory. End-of-week recall usually loses small task switches, non-billable admin time, and gaps between meetings.
Timers capture work as it happens and make project switching cleaner. Teams still need clear rules: track billable and non-billable time separately, attach each entry to the right project or client, and avoid using time tracking as employee monitoring by default. Personal information handling carries U.S. privacy and security obligations, including FTC unfair or deceptive practices and data-security expectations.
A one-off weekly total is enough when you need a quick personal check, a rough project estimate, or a simple record for a short job. Keep the export or saved record with the client, payroll, or project file. Employers should also remember retention rules: payroll records must be preserved for at least three years, and basic time and earnings records such as daily time cards or sheets for at least two years.
A managed workflow is the better fit when tracked time feeds invoices, payroll review, project budgets, or client reports every week. Everhour connects time entries to budgets in hours or money, recurring budget periods, threshold email alerts, budget protection, expenses, billing methods, and client-level budgets, so the time record becomes part of the operating system instead of a separate weekly chore.

A practical time entry includes the worker, date, task or work category, project, client when relevant, duration or start and stop time, and billable status. U.S. payroll records for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Yes. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, but it does not require a specific timekeeping form or system. Paper sheets, spreadsheets, digital timesheets, timers, and integrated tools can work if the records are complete, accurate, and retained for the required period.
Yes. Separate billable and non-billable time so invoices, budgets, and utilization reports do not mix client work with internal admin, training, sales, or rework. The same separation also helps managers see whether a project is over budget because of client scope, internal process time, or missing estimates.
No. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely for Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or regular rest-day work. Covered nonexempt employees receive FLSA overtime when hours worked exceed 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek, unless another law, policy, contract, or agreement gives a greater benefit.
Employers must keep payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, including daily start and stop time cards or sheets, for at least two years. Longer retention can be required by state law, contract terms, litigation holds, or internal finance policy.
Everhour Project Budgeting turns logged time and expenses into hour-based or money-based budget tracking. Teams can use one-time or recurring budgets, set email alerts at 75%, 90%, 100%, or custom thresholds, and apply budget protection that stops timers or blocks extra logging after a limit is exceeded.
Everhour embeds time tracking controls inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Team members can track time against the task they are already working on, while managers keep project and client time in one reporting layer.
Track time against project budgets, set budget alerts, and stop over-limit logging before extra hours turn into billing disputes. Everhour gives teams budget control tied to actual work.
