Use this page when you need one reviewed record of the time people spent on Basecamp work during the week. The practical goal is a team timesheet: who worked, which Basecamp project and to-do the time belongs to, which entries need notes, and which totals are ready for approval. The record should support payroll review, client billing, project reporting, or management follow-up without rebuilding hours from chat, memory, or status updates.
Basecamp work usually starts in projects, lists, and to-dos with assignees, due dates, subtasks, and completion status. Team time needs to stay attached to that structure, especially when several people contribute to the same project. A useful review shows daily hours by person and ties each entry back to the Basecamp project, list, and to-do, so a manager can approve the week without guessing what the hours describe.
A reliable team hours workflow starts with a consistent rule: project work belongs on the Basecamp to-do that represents the assignment. Notes should explain the work when the to-do title alone is too broad, such as "QA pass on checkout edge cases" instead of "testing." Entries tied only to a project lose the detail that managers need when hours look high, the task reopens, or a client asks what changed.
Everhour embeds tracking controls into Basecamp through the browser extension, with Basecamp projects, lists, and to-dos flowing into Everhour reporting. Everhour's Basecamp report columns can include project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status. That structure matters for teams because one weekly view can show each person's hours without stripping away the assignment context that made the work traceable in the first place.
Team hours become trustworthy when review happens on a schedule. A manager should check the week, send back missing or unclear entries, and approve only the time that matches the work record. Late edits weaken payroll and billing handoffs because totals can change after a report, invoice, or review file has already moved forward. Corrections still happen, but they need an admin trail rather than silent changes by regular members.
Submitted time should lock during review, and approved time should stay locked for regular members. That prevents a clean Monday payroll check from becoming a moving target on Wednesday. Admin corrections cover real exceptions, such as a missed timer, a mistaken date, or time placed on the wrong Basecamp to-do. The better process is strict at the period level and practical at the correction level.
A one-off weekly review works when the team is small, the hours are low-risk, and you only need a quick CSV or summary for internal tracking. It is enough when every person logs consistently, managers review the same day each week, and no one needs overtime visibility, invoice grouping, budget alerts, or protected payroll periods. The moment late edits affect payroll or client billing, the workflow needs stronger controls.
Everhour turns Basecamp hours into a reviewed operating record with approvals, locked periods, admin corrections, exports, and overtime visibility. Managers can use daily and weekly overtime limits, 1.5x and 2x tiers, Team Hours overtime visibility, and payroll calculations based on employee hourly cost and tracked time. That creates a clearer handoff from Basecamp work to payroll review, billing reports, and management decisions.

Review the week by person, then check each entry against the Basecamp project, list, and to-do. The manager should look for missing days, unusually high totals, vague notes, reopened work, and entries attached to the wrong assignment. Approval should happen after corrections, because approved totals often feed payroll review, billing reports, or project cost checks.
A useful record includes the person, date, hours worked, project, to-do, and a note when the task title does not explain the work. For Basecamp-connected reporting in Everhour, project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status can provide the context managers need. Time tied only to a broad project is harder to approve, audit, or bill accurately.
Locked periods stop regular members from changing approved or closed time after review. That protects payroll and billing totals from late changes that no one sees until a report no longer matches the original review. Admins still need correction rights for mistakes, but the correction should happen as a controlled edit rather than an invisible rewrite of the submitted week.
Teams should decide whether overtime review uses tracked project hours or working hours, then keep that basis consistent. Daily and weekly limits, 1.5x overtime, and 2x double overtime only produce useful results when entries are complete before approval. Missing time, wrong dates, and late edits can shift overtime totals and create payroll review problems.
The common mistake is approving totals without reviewing the assignment context. A weekly total of 40 hours says little when hours are spread across several Basecamp projects and to-dos. Managers need to see where the time landed, which entries changed, and whether any approved record includes non-project time, time off, or work assigned to the wrong place.
Everhour Overtimes supports daily and weekly overtime limits, 1.5x and 2x tiers, and overtime visibility in Team Hours. For Basecamp-connected work, tracked time can feed payroll calculations based on employee hourly cost and tracked time after managers review the submitted entries.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours, and managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members, giving payroll or billing review a stable record.
Track approved Basecamp work in Everhour with overtime visibility in Team Hours, daily and weekly limits, and payroll calculations based on employee hourly cost and tracked time.
