Track your budget through time or costs
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.
Use this page to track time against Basecamp to-dos so the record stays connected to the work that produced it. A useful entry names the to-do, project, date, duration, and note when the reason is not obvious from the task title. The goal is a clean work record that a manager, bookkeeper, or client can understand later without asking the contributor to reconstruct the day.
Australian teams usually need the same practical result as any distributed service team: hours by person, project, and task, with enough context for billing or payroll review. Keep local payroll, award, contract, and tax treatment outside the raw time entry unless your policy requires a note. The time record should describe the work performed; the pay or invoice rule belongs in the review and billing setup.
A timer fits active work on a specific Basecamp to-do. The person opens the to-do, starts the timer from the embedded Everhour control, stops it when the work pauses or finishes, and leaves the entry attached to that to-do. This method gives reviewers a direct link between the task and the time spent, especially when several people work across the same Basecamp project.
Manual entry fits cleanup after a meeting, field work, or an interrupted day when the person knows the completed duration. The same discipline applies: choose the right to-do, enter the date and duration, and add a note when the entry covers a call, revision, or handoff that the to-do title does not explain. Avoid dumping a full day into one vague project entry because it weakens budget and billing reports.
Basecamp work often starts from to-do lists, message threads, schedules, or project discussions, but time should land on the synced Basecamp to-do when the work needs task-level reporting. Everhour's Basecamp reporting fields are centered on project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status, so the tracked entry should point to the to-do that represents the deliverable or action item.
If a discussion creates new work, create or use the relevant Basecamp to-do before logging time. That keeps hours grouped by project and list instead of buried in notes. Billable setup also needs care: Everhour sets billing status at the project level, and specific tasks inside a billable project can be marked non-billable or assigned custom rates when the client agreement requires it.
A simple tracking pass is enough when one person needs a short record of hours on a few Basecamp to-dos. A managed workflow becomes necessary when several people log time, budgets are active, or the same hours feed billing, payroll review, and project reporting. At that point, the team needs approvals, locked periods, budget visibility, and consistent billable rules.
Everhour can turn Basecamp project time into time or money budgets, with billing methods such as hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable status. Budget emails can use 50%, 80%, or custom thresholds for Basecamp projects, and tracked entries can flow into reports before invoices or payroll review. The browser extension is required for embedded Basecamp controls, and the integration does not work inside Basecamp native apps.

Open the Basecamp to-do, use the embedded Everhour control in the browser, and start a timer or add a manual entry. The entry should stay attached to the to-do, project, date, person, duration, and any useful note, so later reporting can show the work in the same project structure.
Use notes for context that the to-do title does not carry, such as a client call, rework, review cycle, or handoff. Do not use notes as the place to decide payroll, award, contract, or tax treatment unless your internal policy requires that detail. The entry records work performed; review applies the rule.
Time should attach to the relevant Basecamp to-do when task-level reporting matters. If a message, schedule item, or project discussion creates work, create or choose the to-do that represents that action before logging time. Everhour's Basecamp report fields center on projects, lists, to-dos, task IDs, and task status.
Set the Basecamp project's billing approach in Everhour, then handle exceptions at the task level when needed. A billable project can still contain a task marked non-billable, and time-and-materials work can use custom task rates. That keeps internal work visible in reports without pushing it into client billable totals.
Logging time to a broad project instead of the actual to-do creates the biggest review problem. The report may still show hours, but it loses the task, list, and status context needed to explain what produced the time. Create the to-do first, then track the timer or manual entry against it.
Everhour Project Budgeting tracks Basecamp project time against hour-based or money-based budgets, including fixed fee, hourly rate, and non-billable setups. Admins can use budget emails at 50%, 80%, or custom thresholds, so tracked to-do hours show budget pressure before billing review.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit weekly project hours for review, and managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved entries are locked for regular members, which protects the Basecamp time record before payroll, billing, or reporting uses it.
Track approved Basecamp hours with Everhour Project Budgeting, budget emails, and billable setup so Australian teams keep to-do work connected to cost control and client billing.
