A work hours tracker helps you record daily time, total weekly hours, project time, client time, billable status, and notes that explain the work. For U.S. payroll records, covered employers must keep accurate records for nonexempt workers covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
The tracker should support the job you need done today. A freelancer may need billable entries grouped by client and task. A manager may need weekly submissions, approvals, and corrections before payroll. An owner may need project totals against budgets. The same time entry can serve all three only when it includes the date, person, project, task, duration, and rate context.
Manual entry works when people record time close to the work and add clear notes. It breaks down when the team reconstructs Friday afternoon from memory. Timer-based tracking captures time as work happens, then the person can adjust, categorize, and submit entries before review. The best method is the one your team will use consistently and completely.
The FLSA does not require covered employers to use a specific clock, app, or form. Any complete and accurate method can work for federal recordkeeping. The method still has to preserve daily and weekly hours for covered nonexempt employees, and state wage, overtime, privacy, or employee-monitoring rules can add separate requirements.
A clean work-hours record separates project hours from working hours, billable from non-billable time, and current-week time from prior-week corrections. That separation matters because payroll, invoicing, and project analysis answer different questions. Payroll needs total hours and approval status. Billing needs client, task, rate, and invoice status. Project managers need planned versus actual effort.
For U.S. overtime review, 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 regular rate of pay. The federal workweek is a fixed 168-hour period, and hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes.
A one-off weekly total is enough when you need a quick check of hours for one person, one week, or one client recap. It is also enough for a draft invoice review before you confirm final rates and line descriptions. The limit appears when approvals, corrections, payroll review, client billing, and project reporting all need the same source record.
A managed workflow gives every entry a path from capture to review. Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock submitted time before payroll or billing. That structure matters when the record must survive late edits, missing entries, and questions from accounting or a client.

A time clock mainly records start and stop times for attendance. A work hours tracker can also assign time to projects, clients, tasks, billable categories, and approval workflows. Employers covered by the FLSA may choose any complete and accurate method for nonexempt worker records, provided the records include required daily and weekly hours.
Track work daily and review it weekly. Daily tracking keeps entries closer to the work and reduces memory-based corrections. Weekly review matters because FLSA overtime for covered nonexempt employees is based on hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek, with no averaging across multiple workweeks.
Weekend or holiday work does not create federal overtime premium pay by itself under the FLSA. Covered nonexempt employees receive FLSA overtime when hours worked exceed 40 in the workweek, unless another law, policy, contract, or agreement creates a separate premium rule for that time.
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. A practical tracker should keep approved hours, corrections, and supporting details retrievable after the pay period closes.
Work-hours tracking collects personal information about employees, schedules, activity, and sometimes location or device context. U.S. businesses must avoid unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act, and FTC guidance says companies should collect only needed sensitive information, protect it, and dispose of it securely.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let users submit time for review. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock entries, which gives payroll and billing teams a reviewed record instead of a loose set of editable hour totals.
Everhour can run standalone or inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Linear, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Teams can track time on tasks where work already happens, then use the same tracked time for reports, budgets, billing, and utilization review.
Use Everhour Timesheets to collect weekly hours, review submissions, lock approved time, and give payroll or billing a cleaner record from Everhour.
