Use this page to shape the weekly record your team needs before payroll review, client billing, or project reporting. The practical output is a clean view of employee hours tied to Basecamp projects and to-dos, with enough context for a manager to approve the time without chasing screenshots or message threads. Each entry should identify the person who did the work, the work date, the hours recorded, and a note that explains the task.
Basecamp holds the project, to-do list, to-do, assignee, due date, notes, and files that explain the work. For employee time review, the strongest anchor is the to-do because it carries the work title, notes, assignment, subtasks, and completion status. Time connected at that level stays easier to filter by project, person, and task later, especially when payroll or invoice review happens after the week has closed.
An employee entry needs more than a total. Start with the Basecamp project, the relevant list or section, the to-do name, the person, the work date, and the hours actually spent. Add a short note when the to-do title does not explain the activity, such as "Drafted client onboarding checklist" or "Reviewed QA findings." Use notes for work performed rather than mood, blocker, or status copied from a thread.
A useful weekly grid applies the same structure across scheduled workdays so the reviewer sees missing days, unusually high daily totals, and work logged to the wrong project. Separate project hours from general working hours when the team needs both views, since the payroll reviewer cares about paid time and the client reviewer cares about billable work. That split keeps internal admin time, project delivery, and leave context from blending into one vague total.
The review cycle needs a clear order. Employees finish entries for the week, submit the record, and stop changing it while the manager reviews totals. Managers compare project hours with assigned Basecamp to-dos, check notes that look too thin, and return only the entries that need correction. Approved time should lock for regular members so a late edit does not change payroll review or invoice totals after signoff.
Admin corrections need a visible reason, especially for missed timers, duplicate entries, wrong dates, or hours placed on the wrong to-do. A durable employee record shows the original work context, the approved total, and the correction history in one place. That trail matters when accounting asks why a billed hour changed, HR checks weekly working hours, or a manager needs to explain a partial approval without reopening the whole week.
A one-off timesheet is enough for a small correction, one employee week, or a quick backup record for a project manager. It works when the same person logs the hours, reviews them, and sends the result to the next step. The limits show up with multiple employees, late edits, mixed billable and non-billable work, or a payroll review that needs the same approval rule every week.
Everhour fits the managed version of that workflow. Employees track Basecamp to-do time through embedded browser extension controls, submit weekly project hours or working hours, and managers approve, reject, partially approve, or lock entries before reports, billing, or payroll review use them. Exports then give accounting or operations a reviewed record, with fewer end-of-month spreadsheet rebuilds from scattered notes.

Organize it by week, person, date, Basecamp project, to-do, hours actually spent, and note. The project and to-do create the work anchor, while the person and date create the review anchor. Add approval status after submission so the manager sees the difference between drafted, corrected, and final time.
Ready-to-approve time has complete days, task-level anchors, plain notes, and totals that match the employee's expected working pattern. The reviewer should see exceptions immediately: missing days, duplicate entries, wrong project selection, or a large total on a task with little explanation. Approval should wait until those issues are fixed.
A late correction should target the affected entry or day. The manager should keep the approved total, changed total, reason, and person who made the change visible for review. That process protects the payroll or billing handoff from silent edits after signoff.
Time off belongs in the same weekly picture when payroll review uses gross working time, attendance, or capacity totals. Keep it separate from project delivery hours so a paid absence does not look like work performed on a Basecamp to-do. The weekly record should show both the absence and the project hours used for billing or reporting.
Create or choose a Basecamp to-do that represents the work before the employee records time. A message thread, file note, or schedule discussion can explain the request. The approved time record still needs a stable project and to-do anchor for filtering, review, and later correction.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let employees submit time for approval. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and keep submitted or approved time locked so payroll and billing reviews use a controlled weekly record.
Everhour embeds tracking controls in Basecamp through its browser extension and brings Basecamp project, list, to-do, task ID, and task status fields into reports. Managers can review employee hours inside the same project structure the team uses for assignments and due dates across connected projects.
Turn weekly Basecamp work into submitted, approved, and locked time. Everhour Timesheets give managers a reviewed record with corrections handled before billing or payroll review.
