Use this page when you need one weekly view of employee hours tied to Basecamp work. The practical goal is a reviewed record, not a loose total. Each person logs time against the Basecamp project, list, or to-do that explains the work. The manager then checks daily totals, missing entries, and unusual patterns before those hours support payroll review, billing, or project reporting.
A useful employee-hours workflow starts inside the place where work is assigned. Basecamp carries the project context, to-do lists, to-dos, assignees, and due dates. Time entries need to preserve that context so a reviewer can see who worked, which to-do they worked on, and whether the entry belongs to project work, working hours, or time off.
A time record should include the employee, date, duration, project, to-do, list, task status, and notes when the entry needs explanation. Everhour's Basecamp reporting fields include project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status, which keeps review tied to the same work structure the team uses during the week. That matters when several people touch one project or when a task moves between active and complete.
Comments should explain exceptions, not repeat the to-do title. A good note says "client revision after design review" or "handoff call and update," because the reviewer can connect the time to a decision or deliverable. Vague notes make payroll and billing review slower because the manager has to ask whether the entry belongs to the correct Basecamp to-do or a different work item.
Employee-hours pages need a review cycle. Staff submit weekly time, and the reviewer checks the grid before the record moves forward. The review should catch missing days, duplicate entries, late manual additions, and totals that do not match the employee's expected working pattern. A weekly review also gives managers one deadline, which is easier to enforce than scattered corrections across the month.
Approval should lock the period for regular members after review. Submitted time needs protection while the manager checks it, and approved time should stay stable for payroll or billing. Admin corrections still matter because people make mistakes, but those edits need a visible trail. A corrected entry is stronger than a silent replacement because the reviewer can see what changed after submission.
A one-off employee-hours tool is enough when you only need a small export or a quick weekly summary for a narrow project. It works best when the team is small, the work is short-lived, and a manager can manually confirm every entry. The limits appear when multiple employees, projects, approvers, billing rules, and late edits create more review work than the export saves.
A managed workflow fits when collected hours need to become an operating record. Everhour can embed tracking controls inside Basecamp through the browser extension, sync Basecamp project and to-do context into reports, support timesheet approval, lock reviewed periods, and export team timesheets or full team logs. That gives managers a cleaner handoff from Basecamp work to payroll review, billing, or internal reporting.

Each employee should log time against the Basecamp project or to-do that explains the work, then submit the week for review. The manager should check missing days, unusually high totals, notes on exception work, and entries placed on the wrong to-do before approving the timesheet.
Trustworthy employee-hour records show the person, date, duration, work item, review status, and any note needed to explain an exception. Payroll review also needs a stable cutoff. Approved time should be locked for regular members so late edits do not change totals after the reviewer has signed off.
Admin corrections should fix the original entry rather than create an unexplained duplicate. The corrected record should preserve who changed the time and why the change happened. That approach keeps the reviewed total usable for payroll or billing and reduces disputes when an employee or client asks about a later adjustment.
Time off belongs in the same weekly picture when managers compare working capacity with tracked project hours. Everhour can include time off in team timesheet totals and scale it according to each member's working capacity, which gives reviewers a clearer view of absence, project work, and expected hours.
The most expensive mistake is logging time without the right Basecamp to-do context. A weekly total alone does not explain the work, and a vague note forces the reviewer to reconstruct the week from messages or memory. Tying each entry to the correct project and to-do keeps review specific.
Everhour embeds tracking controls in Basecamp through its browser extension and syncs Basecamp project and to-do metadata into Everhour reports. Managers can review time by project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status instead of rebuilding employee timesheets from disconnected notes.
Everhour supports timesheet approval and locked time editing. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and approved time stays locked for regular members, which keeps reviewed employee hours stable before payroll, billing, or reporting uses them.
Track approved hours from Basecamp to-dos, lock reviewed periods, and export team timesheets with Everhour for a cleaner payroll or billing handoff.
