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.
You need a team record that shows who worked, where the work happened, and which submitted hours are ready for review. A practical employee timesheet ties each entry to the Basecamp project, to-do or list context, date, hours actually worked, and any note that explains the entry. That record lets a reviewer compare submitted hours with assigned work before payroll, billing, or project reporting uses the totals.
Basecamp supplies the work structure in this workflow. Projects, lists, to-dos, assignees, due dates, subtasks, and completion status give each entry context. Everhour adds the employee time layer to that structure through embedded web controls, so employees track against the Basecamp item they touched instead of filing a whole week under a general project label.
A useful weekly grid groups time by person and date, then rolls the entries back to Basecamp project, list, and to-do names. Everhour's Basecamp report fields include project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status. Keep one line per meaningful work block when a task changes owner, status, or purpose.
For team review, require the fields that survive export and later questions: employee, date, hours actually worked, Basecamp project, to-do, list or section, task ID, task status, and a short work note when the title alone is unclear. Timer entries and manual entries should stay distinguishable because a backfilled week needs closer review than work captured while it happened.
Everhour Timesheets support the review cycle after employees submit a week. The reviewer checks missing days, unusual daily totals, entries on the wrong Basecamp to-do, and time that conflicts with known time off. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time and notify the employee when a specific entry needs correction.
Approved time should lock for regular members so payroll and billing teams do not receive moving totals. Admin corrections still need a visible trail: the person corrected, the entry changed, the new value, and the reason. A clean correction process protects the record without forcing every typo or missed timer through a long email thread.
A one-off timesheet works for a solo contractor, a short internal project, or a simple weekly summary where nobody else edits the record. Employee tracking needs more once several people submit time, managers approve it, accounting exports it, or clients question an invoice. The handoff matters as much as the hours.
Everhour supports the managed workflow by adding Basecamp web controls through the browser extension, timer and manual entry options, timesheet approvals, locked periods, reminders, and admin corrections. The same tracked time can feed reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review without rebuilding weekly records from loose notes. That keeps the operating record tied to the original Basecamp work.

Each entry should point to the Basecamp project, list, and to-do that received the work, plus the employee, date, hours actually worked, and a useful note when the title is vague. A generic project-level entry loses the context a reviewer needs when the same person handled client work, internal cleanup, and corrections in one week.
The approver should be the person responsible for payroll, billing, or project delivery, based on the reason the hours are collected. A project manager can confirm task context and client scope. An operations or accounting reviewer can check totals, time off, and export timing before the numbers move into payroll or invoices.
Reviewer-friendly records include employee, date, hours actually worked, Basecamp project, to-do, list or section, task ID, task status, and a short work note for unclear items. Assignee and due date context also helps when submitted hours need to be compared with planned work, late tasks, or completed items.
Late editing after approval creates the biggest review problem because payroll and billing teams lose a stable total. Prevent that by closing the week, locking approved periods for regular members, and using admin corrections for legitimate fixes. Corrections should identify the changed entry and reason, rather than replacing the original record silently.
Time off belongs in the same weekly picture when managers need gross availability, payroll review, or capacity planning. Keep it separate from hours actually worked on Basecamp to-dos. That distinction prevents paid time not worked from inflating client work, project effort, billable totals, or attendance conclusions.
Everhour Time Tracking lets employees start timers or add manual entries against Basecamp to-dos through the browser extension in the Basecamp web app; embedded controls are not available in Basecamp native apps. The captured task and project hours feed timesheets, reporting, budgeting, invoicing, and payroll review.
Everhour Timesheets support submission, approval, rejection, and partial approval before time moves into payroll, billing, or reporting. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected, approved time stays locked for regular members, and admins can correct entries when a reviewed record needs a controlled change.
Track Basecamp to-do hours with Everhour Time Tracking, review employee timesheets before payroll or billing, and keep reports, budgets, invoices, and exports tied to approved work.
