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.
Tracking time across multiple projects means every entry needs a project, task or work category, date, person, and duration. Teams also need a clear billable or non-billable label when hours feed invoices or client reports. Without that structure, one weekly total tells you how much someone worked but fails to show which project absorbed the time.
For U.S. payroll context, covered employers must keep accurate records for non-exempt workers covered by FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. The FLSA does not require a specific timekeeping form or system, so a complete project tracker, timesheet, spreadsheet, or approved app can work when the records stay accurate.
A useful multi-project setup separates client projects, internal operations, admin work, meetings, and time that should never be billed. A designer who logs 6 hours to a client website, 1 hour to sales support, and 1 hour to team planning gives the business a better record than one 8-hour block labeled "work." That split protects invoices, budgets, and project margin reports.
Project names should stay consistent across the team. One person using "Acme redesign" and another using "Acme website" creates duplicate buckets and weak reporting. Client, project, task, and billing status fields give managers a reliable way to compare planned work against actual work without manually interpreting notes after the week closes.
Multi-project tracking still needs a weekly view. Under the FLSA federal baseline, unless exempt, covered 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 FLSA overtime purposes.
The common mistake is checking each project separately and missing the person-level total. A nonexempt employee can work 25 hours on one project and 20 hours on another in the same workweek. The project totals look ordinary on their own, but the combined 45 hours needs overtime review under the federal weekly rule unless an exemption or different applicable rule changes the analysis.
A free weekly tracker is enough when you need a quick project-hour total for a small job, a one-off invoice, or a simple internal review. It works best when the project list is short, the same person enters the time, and no one needs approvals, budget alerts, locked periods, or recurring client reporting.
A managed workflow fits ongoing multi-project work. Everhour can track time against projects and tasks, then connect those entries to hour-based or money-based project budgets, recurring budget periods, threshold alerts, and budget protection. That matters when tracked time affects client billing, project limits, payroll review, and a durable record that survives beyond one spreadsheet.

Each entry should include the worker, date, project, task or work category, time amount, and billable status when billing applies. U.S. records for non-exempt workers covered by FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions also need hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek, regardless of the system used to collect them.
Most teams need all three levels. The client level groups commercial relationships, the project level tracks budget and scope, and the task level explains the work behind each hour. Smaller teams can start with project and billable status, then add task detail when invoices, estimates, or margin reviews require more precision.
Yes. A daily record can include multiple project entries as long as the total accurately reflects hours worked. The weekly total still matters for U.S. overtime review. Covered nonexempt employees must be reviewed across the full fixed workweek, so project-level splits cannot hide a person-level total over 40 hours.
Project time tracking can support FLSA recordkeeping when it captures complete and accurate daily and weekly hours for covered non-exempt workers. The FLSA does not mandate a specific system. Employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, such as time cards or sheets, for at least two years.
Mixed billable and non-billable time causes the most billing cleanup. A single project total does not show whether the hours belong on an invoice, an internal budget, or a non-billable support category. Each entry needs a billing status before invoices or project profitability reports use the data.
Everhour Project Budgeting tracks hour-based and money-based budgets as people log time. Teams can use one-time or recurring budgets, set alerts at 75%, 90%, 100%, or custom thresholds, and apply budget protection so extra time does not continue after a project exceeds its limit.
Everhour embeds time tracking inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Team members can track time where tasks already live, while tracked time flows into one reporting layer for project, client, budget, and billing review.
Track project hours against budgets, spot overages early, and keep recurring client work under review. Everhour connects logged time to project budgeting, alerts, and billing-ready records.
