You need a labour-hour record that follows Basecamp to-do work across a UK project, client account, or internal team review. The practical output is a set of entries tied to the to-do that produced the work, with the project, person, date, duration, and note clear enough for a manager, bookkeeper, or client reviewer to follow.
The Basecamp project remains the place where to-dos, assignees, due dates, notes, and list structure live. The labour record should follow that structure instead of sitting in a separate spreadsheet with vague labels like "admin" or "client work." A useful entry tells you which to-do consumed the time and whether the resulting hours belong in billing, cost review, payroll preparation, or workload reporting.
A clean Basecamp labour-hour entry starts with one unit of work: the to-do. The entry needs the Basecamp project, list or section, to-do name, person, date, duration, and a short note when the title alone does not explain the work. A note such as "drafted revised onboarding checklist after stakeholder review" gives more review value than "updates" because it explains the activity behind the time.
Manual entry fits completed work, travel notes, or backfilled time after a meeting. A live timer fits focused work on one to-do because it preserves the start-stop pattern and reduces end-of-day reconstruction. Team rules should make one path normal for each situation, then require corrections before the weekly review so entries stay attached to the right Basecamp to-do.
A UK-facing labour-hour report needs two views: time considered for client billing and time that explains internal effort. Billing status should come from the project setup, with specific tasks marked non-billable when a billable project includes internal coordination, rework, or admin. That structure keeps the person entering time from deciding billing treatment on every entry and gives managers one place to review the rule.
A reviewer should be able to group labour by Basecamp project, to-do, list, task status, person, and date. Those dimensions answer different questions: the owner checks total project effort, the bookkeeper separates chargeable work from internal time, and the team lead sees which to-dos absorbed the week. A report that only lists names and hours forces every review to start again from memory.
A one-off time log works for a small Basecamp project when one person needs a dated list of hours and notes. A managed workflow becomes the better fit when several people track labour across projects, managers approve time before billing or payroll review, and completed periods need to stay locked after submission.
Everhour adds that managed layer inside Basecamp through the browser extension: timers or manual entries capture task and project hours, then feed timesheets, reporting, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules so Basecamp to-do time becomes a durable record instead of a loose set of notes.

A labour-hour entry should point to the specific to-do that caused the work, then carry the project, list, person, date, duration, and note needed for review. Project-only totals hide the source of the hours and make client questions harder to answer because the reviewer has to reconstruct the work from memory.
Useful UK-facing labels separate chargeable client work from internal labour, rework, admin, and project management. The label should match the decision the reviewer needs to make: bill the client, absorb the cost internally, adjust an estimate, or follow up with the person who entered the time.
Timers fit focused to-do work because they capture duration as the work happens. Manual entries fit meetings, travel notes, interrupted work, or corrections after the fact. A consistent rule matters more than the method: each entry still needs the correct to-do, person, date, duration, and reviewable note.
To-dos make the cleanest labour-hour anchor because they carry the work item, assignee, due date, notes, and completion status. Message boards, Card Tables, and schedule items can prompt work, but the reviewed time record should point back to the to-do or project work item that explains the labour.
Weak reports usually start with vague project totals, missing notes, mixed billable and internal labour, or edits made after review. The practical fix is a weekly close process: correct the to-do, duration, person, and billing treatment first, then treat the reviewed period as closed.
Everhour embeds time controls in Basecamp through the browser extension, letting users start a timer or add manual time against task and project work. Those entries feed Everhour timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review without rebuilding the record from a separate spreadsheet.
Everhour lets admins set Basecamp projects as billable by hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable status, with task-level non-billable handling and custom rates available for time-and-materials work. Reports can then separate billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost.
Track approved Basecamp to-do hours with timers, manual entries, reminders, approvals, and locked periods. Everhour carries that record into timesheets, reports, invoices, budgets, and payroll review.
