Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Distributed teams need time records that stay attached to the Basecamp work that produced them. The practical job is simple: record hours against the right to-do, keep each entry tied to a project and list, and leave enough context for a manager, bookkeeper, or client reviewer to understand the work later.
Basecamp to-dos carry titles, notes, assignees, subtasks, due dates, and completion status. Everhour adds the tracking layer through its browser extension, with controls inside Basecamp for supported workflows. The entry should follow the to-do, even when the person doing the work is in another location or time zone.
A reviewable time entry needs a to-do, project, date, duration, and note. The note should name the finished action or blocker, not repeat the to-do title. For example, "QA pass on onboarding form validation" gives more review value than "worked on form."
Billing setup belongs in Everhour's project and task configuration. Admins can set Basecamp projects as billable, fixed fee, or non-billable, and they can mark specific tasks non-billable or use custom rates. That structure keeps billable handling consistent across people instead of relying on each person to choose a label differently.
Live timers fit active work on a specific Basecamp to-do, especially for support, design review, QA, and implementation sessions that start and stop during the day. The timer keeps duration close to the real work session and reduces end-of-day reconstruction.
Manual entry fits work logged after the fact, such as a focused offline block, a meeting that produced a to-do update, or a correction requested during review. Distributed teams should set a clear rule for notes and dates, because late entries without context create approval delays and weaken client billing records.
A one-off tracking setup is enough when a small team only needs recent hours by to-do and a simple export. It stops being enough when managers need approvals, locked periods, capacity limits, and a consistent handoff to payroll, billing, or project reporting.
Everhour Team Management supports that managed workflow. Admins can lock editing after a period or approval, correct time for team members, set personal tracking limits, assign roles, control project access, and group members for reporting. That turns distributed Basecamp entries into a governed record instead of scattered notes.

Team members should log time against the Basecamp to-do that represents the work, using the actual work date and a note that explains the completed action. A shared rule for dates matters because managers review the record by person, project, and period, not by local memory.
A reviewable entry carries the Basecamp project, list, to-do, person, date, duration, and a useful note. Everhour's Basecamp reports can include project name, to-do name, section or list name, task number, and task status, so the record stays connected to the original work structure.
Live timers are best for active to-do work that starts and stops during the day. Manual entries are still necessary for completed offline work, corrections, and sessions recorded after the fact. The team should review timer and manual entries differently because each entry type has a different accuracy risk.
Vague notes create the most common delay. A manager cannot approve "misc updates" with the same confidence as "updated pricing table copy after client review." Distributed teams need notes that explain the work without requiring a chat search or a second message to the assignee.
Yes. Basecamp Timesheets can show entries by project and across projects, aggregate time by person, and export a filtered view to CSV. Everhour reports can add Basecamp project, list, to-do, task ID, and task status fields when the Basecamp integration is connected.
Everhour Team Management gives admins approval workflows, lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide time policy defaults. That lets managers review Basecamp-linked hours before billing, payroll, or reporting uses them.
Everhour can configure Basecamp projects as hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable, then send automatic budget emails at 50%, 80%, or custom thresholds. Admins can also mark tasks non-billable or apply custom rates for Basecamp work that needs different billing treatment.
Track approved Basecamp hours with Everhour Team Management, then use locks, limits, roles, and approval records to keep distributed work ready for billing, payroll review, and reporting.
