Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use this page to total one person's hours for a single week, then separate the result into categories your next step needs. A freelancer may need billable and non-billable totals for a client invoice. A manager may need regular hours, overtime review, and project totals before sending payroll data. A bookkeeper may need daily hours to match a submitted timesheet.
Federal rules give covered employers flexibility in the tool they use, but not in the accuracy of the record. For non-exempt workers covered by the FLSA, the employer's records need both the hours worked each workday and the total hours worked each workweek when minimum wage or overtime provisions apply.
A useful weekly hours record starts with the workweek, daily entries, and a clear category for each block of time. Keep the week tied to a fixed, regularly recurring period of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. The FLSA defines that workweek as 168 hours, and covered employers cannot average hours across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes.
Project and billing work needs more detail than a single weekly number. Track the client, project, task, billable status, and rate when those fields affect an invoice or budget. A line such as "Tuesday, 3.5 hours, Acme website, QA review, billable, $85 per hour" is more useful than "Tuesday, 3.5 hours" when the same week feeds payroll and client billing.
For covered non-exempt employees, federal overtime pay applies to 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 federal overtime premium pay by itself unless the weekly overtime rule is triggered or another law, policy, contract, or agreement applies.
The most common weekly-hours mistake is moving time between weeks to make totals look cleaner. A fixed workweek prevents that. If an employee works 46 hours in one workweek and 34 hours in the next, the first week still needs overtime review under the federal baseline. State wage, overtime, privacy, and employee-monitoring rules can add requirements, so the weekly total should stay tied to the correct jurisdiction and worker category.
A free weekly calculator is enough when you need one clean total, a quick invoice draft, or a manual check against a submitted timesheet. It works best for a single person, one week, and a small number of projects. Keep the final record with the source entries, especially when payroll or billing questions can arise later.
A managed workflow fits ongoing teams that need continuous tracking across projects and clients, approval history, reports, and billing or payroll handoff. Everhour can keep tracked time in one reporting layer, with reports grouped by project, client, member, billable time, labor costs, invoice status, and other columns. That gives managers a durable record instead of a weekly total copied into separate spreadsheets.

A weekly hours total should include hours worked each workday and the total hours worked in the workweek when the record covers employees subject to the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions. Billing records should also separate client, project, task, billable status, and rate when those details affect an invoice or budget.
Covered employers cannot average hours across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes. A workweek is a fixed, regularly recurring period of 168 hours. If a covered non-exempt employee works over 40 hours in one workweek, that week needs overtime review even when the next week has fewer hours.
A weekly calculator does not replace the employer's duty to keep complete and accurate records. Under federal rules, employers must 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.
Billable hours and payroll hours often differ because they answer different questions. Payroll time covers compensable work time for the worker category and jurisdiction. Billable time covers hours charged to a client under the contract or scope. Keep both labels visible when the same week supports payroll review and invoicing.
Privacy rules matter when weekly time records identify employees, schedules, projects, locations, or work patterns. U.S. businesses handling personal information must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act. Covered businesses with California employees or job applicants may also have CCPA obligations for employee time-tracking data.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into customizable reports with 45+ columns. Managers can group and filter weekly hours by member, project, client, billable time, labor costs, invoice status, and other fields, then export reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF.
Everhour can run as a standalone tracker or inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Team members track time on tasks while work happens, and the entries stay connected to the projects that need review.
Track approved hours by project, client, and member, then use Everhour Reporting to group, filter, export, and schedule the weekly reports that support billing and payroll review.
