Reliable weekly time records for Basecamp work

Create reviewable team attendance records

You need a weekly record that shows who worked, which Basecamp to-dos the time belongs to, and whether the hours are ready for payroll, billing, or management review. The clean version groups hours by person and project, keeps notes attached where they explain the work, and separates submitted time from time that still needs correction.

Attendance tracking for Basecamp work starts with the team's actual work structure. Basecamp projects, to-do lists, and to-dos give the record its context. Everhour can report Basecamp project names, to-do names, section or list names, task numbers, and task status, so reviewers can connect hours to the work without rebuilding the week from memory.

Capture the right weekly detail

A weekly timesheet needs the date, person, hours worked, work item, and enough notes to explain unusual entries. Basecamp's Timesheets workflow records date, hours worked, person, and optional notes, with project and cross-project reporting plus CSV export. For a team attendance process, reviewers still need a clear rule for where task-linked work, meetings, and corrections belong.

Basecamp to-dos carry titles, notes, assignees, subtasks, due dates or date ranges, recurring schedules, and completion status. Use those fields to keep attendance records tied to assigned work. A 3-hour Tuesday entry on a client setup to-do is easier to approve than a loose note that says "client work," especially when the same person worked across several projects that week.

Keep attendance edits controlled

Late edits weaken attendance records when payroll or billing already used the original totals. A practical review cycle gives team members a submission deadline, gives managers a fixed approval window, and locks approved periods so regular members cannot change the record afterward. Corrections still happen, but an admin should make them deliberately with the reason visible in the activity history.

Everhour timesheets support submitted weekly project hours or working hours, depending on the team's tracking setup. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time and notify the employee when changes are needed. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members, which keeps the reviewed record stable.

Move from hours to invoices

A one-off attendance export is enough when you need a filtered CSV for a single project, a short audit, or a manager's weekly check. It works best when the team is small, entries are already clean, and no one needs rate rules, invoice status, approval locks, or recurring handoffs after the report leaves the tool.

A managed workflow becomes necessary when collected hours feed client billing, payroll review, or ongoing cost control. Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates invoice amounts from rates while excluding non-billable tasks, and can export invoices to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks with status details synced back to Everhour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which attendance details matter most for Basecamp projects?

The strongest record shows the person, date, hours worked, Basecamp project, to-do list or section, to-do name, task status, and any note that explains unusual time. Those details let a reviewer confirm that the hours match assigned work instead of treating the week as a loose total.

How should managers handle attendance time that is submitted late?

Managers should keep late entries outside the approved period until the correction is reviewed. Approved time should stay locked for regular members, and an admin should make any necessary correction with a clear reason. This protects payroll and billing records from silent changes after totals have already been used.

Should attendance records track project hours or working hours?

The choice depends on the handoff. Project hours fit client billing, project costing, and to-do review because time is tied to Basecamp work. Working hours fit attendance and payroll review because they show the person's total work pattern. Teams that need both should keep the two views consistent before approval.

Which Basecamp work items should carry attendance time?

Basecamp projects, to-do lists, and to-dos create the clearest structure for time records. Everhour's documented Basecamp report fields center on project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status. Schedule events, Message Board posts, and Card Table cards need a team rule for how related time gets attached to the right to-do.

How does the browser extension affect Basecamp attendance tracking?

Everhour embeds tracking controls into Basecamp through its browser extension. Everhour states that the Basecamp integration does not work in Basecamp native apps, so teams that want embedded tracking inside Basecamp should use the supported browser workflow. Mobile or desktop tracking can still record time in Everhour outside that embedded Basecamp view.

How does Everhour turn Basecamp attendance time into invoices?

Everhour Billing & Invoicing uses tracked billable time and expenses to generate invoices, calculates invoice amounts from rates, and excludes non-billable work from billed totals. Invoices can be exported to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks, with invoice status, number, issue date, and amount visible back in Everhour.

How does Everhour protect approved attendance records?

Everhour lets admins lock editing after a chosen period or after timesheet approval. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, while approved time stays locked for regular members. Admin corrections remain possible, which keeps the review process controlled without forcing repeated back-and-forth for every payroll or billing fix.

Turn Basecamp hours into invoices

Track approved Basecamp time, exclude non-billable work, and generate invoices from reviewed records. Everhour connects attendance review to billing workflows that stay traceable after approval.
