The practical job is to collect weekly team hours for Basecamp project work, review them against assigned to-dos, and keep accepted time stable for payroll, billing, or reporting. A manager needs more than a total. The record has to show who worked, where the time went, and which entries need correction before approval.
Basecamp remains the place where projects, to-do lists, to-dos, assignees, and due dates organize the work. Everhour adds the time layer through its browser extension, with embedded controls inside Basecamp and synced reporting fields for project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status.
A reviewable timesheet needs the person, week, project, to-do, daily hours, and enough notes to explain exceptions. A clean entry reads like a work record, not a diary: 2.5 hours on the client onboarding checklist, tied to the assigned Basecamp to-do, with a short note for review context.
Managers should separate project hours from working hours when the team uses both. Project hours show where time went inside Basecamp work. Working hours support attendance-style review. Everhour Timesheets can collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then route submitted time through approval before payroll, billing, or reporting uses it.
Team timesheets fail when managers approve totals without checking the shape of the week. Missing days, unusually high daily totals, late manual entries, and time added after review all change the reliability of the record. The review should happen before the period becomes a payroll or billing source.
Everhour helps managers review submitted time with color coding, reminders, and activity history. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members. Admin corrections still allow cleanup, but the team avoids open-ended edits after the weekly record has been accepted.
A one-off weekly sheet is enough when a manager only needs a quick rollup of Basecamp project hours for a small team. It stops being enough when those hours feed payroll review, client billing, budget checks, or recurring reports. Those workflows need submissions, approvals, locked periods, and controlled corrections.
Everhour turns collected Basecamp hours into a managed operating record. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, lock completed periods, and export team timesheets or reports when accounting, payroll, or client review needs a stable file.

Managers should compare each daily total with the assigned Basecamp work and the person's expected working pattern. A 10-hour day tied to one to-do needs a note or correction before approval. A missing day needs follow-up before the week becomes a payroll, billing, or reporting source.
A project timesheet should keep project time tied to Basecamp to-dos and keep working-hour totals visible when the team reviews attendance-style time. Non-project working time should not be forced into an unrelated to-do just to balance the week. That mistake makes project reports look cleaner while damaging the work record.
Each contributor should record only the time they worked, even when several people touch the same Basecamp to-do. The shared task gives managers the work context, but the timesheet still needs person-level entries. That separation keeps billing review, payroll review, and staffing analysis from treating team effort as one person's time.
Late edits after submission need manager review when they change the person, date, project, to-do, or hours. Small note cleanup is less risky than a changed total, but the record still needs a trail. The accepted week should match the version used for payroll, billing, or reporting.
Task status and list context help a manager see whether the logged time matches the current state of the Basecamp work. Hours on completed to-dos, stale lists, or renamed tasks need review before approval. The goal is traceability from the timesheet entry back to the project structure.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted time is protected from edits unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members.
Everhour embeds time tracking controls in Basecamp through the browser extension, so team members can track time from the work context. The integration syncs Basecamp project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status fields into Everhour reports for review.
