UK teams use this workflow when Basecamp projects hold the work plan and each person needs to record time against the right to-do. A useful review trail connects hours with the Basecamp project and to-do, then adds enough context for a manager to understand the work without rebuilding the week from chat, comments, or memory.
The practical goal is a clean record for client billing, payroll review, project reporting, or internal cost checks. Everhour embeds tracking controls into Basecamp through its browser extension, so people can start a timer or add time manually from the Basecamp browser view. The integration does not work in Basecamp native apps.
A timer fits active work where the person starts on a Basecamp to-do, stops when the work ends, and keeps the tracked time connected to that item in Everhour reporting. It reduces guessing on fragmented days, especially when several client projects are open. A short note helps when the to-do title does not explain the completed work, blocker, review, or handoff.
Manual entry fits late updates, offscreen work, or corrections after a meeting, call, or review session. The same review habit still applies: choose the right Basecamp project and to-do, enter the time accurately, and add context when the task name is too broad. Everhour records timer, manual, and past-date entries separately, which helps managers spot patterns before approving time.
Billable status should come from the project billing setup and task rules, not from casual wording in a note. Everhour lets admins configure Basecamp projects as hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable, then mark specific tasks non-billable or apply custom task rates where the billing model needs that detail.
This matters for UK service teams that invoice retainers, fixed-fee delivery, support blocks, or time-and-materials work. A client call, internal planning item, and delivery task can sit in the same Basecamp project, but the billing treatment must match the agreement. Incorrect billable setup turns accurate hours into unreliable invoice totals.
A one-off time log is enough when you only need a short list of hours for a small piece of work. It starts to break down when multiple people edit late entries, managers need approvals, or finance needs a stable record for billing or payroll review. At that point, the workflow needs ownership and close dates.
Everhour Team Management gives admins lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, approval workflow, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide time policy defaults. That turns Basecamp to-do time into a managed record, with approved hours ready for reporting, billing review, and payroll handoff.

A person starts a timer or adds a manual entry from the Basecamp browser view when Everhour is connected through the browser extension. The tracked time connects to Basecamp project and to-do context for reporting. Basecamp remains the place for the task context, while Everhour keeps the time record.
Project, to-do, person, tracked time, and a short note give managers enough context to review the work. The note matters most when the to-do title is broad, such as "client changes" or "support follow-up." That level of detail supports review without turning the timesheet into a diary.
Use a timer for focused work on a specific Basecamp to-do. Add hours manually when the work happened away from the browser, during a call, or after a missed timer. Manual time needs the same discipline as timer time because late reconstruction creates weak billing and payroll records.
Yes, when the billing setup handles it deliberately. Everhour sets billing status at the project level and can mark specific tasks non-billable inside a billable project. Admins can also use custom task rates for time-and-materials work, so internal items do not accidentally appear as client-billable time.
Loose entries cause the biggest review problem: time logged to the wrong to-do, missing context on broad tasks, manual hours added long after the work, or billable status left unclear. A clean weekly review should catch those issues before time feeds reports, invoices, or payroll checks.
Everhour Team Management supports approvals, lock rules, admin corrections, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide time policy defaults. Managers can review submitted time before billing or payroll use, then protect approved periods from regular member edits.
Everhour reporting can include Basecamp project names, to-do names, section or list names, task IDs, and task status. That keeps the time record connected to the Basecamp structure people already use for delivery, while reports can group hours by project, person, task, or billing view.
Track approved Basecamp hours with Everhour Team Management, then keep lock rules, corrections, limits, capacity, approvals, roles, and team groups connected to billing and payroll review.
