The job is to turn work scattered across Basecamp projects into one weekly record for each person. You need dates, hours actually worked, the Basecamp project, the list or to-do, and enough notes to understand the work without reopening every discussion. A useful timesheet gives the reviewer a clean decision: approve, reject, or ask for a correction before payroll, billing, or internal reporting uses the hours.
For a team, the timesheet is also a control point. Everyone can track time during the week, but the manager reviews totals against assignments, due dates, time off, and client scope before closing the period. The record should show who worked, where the time landed, which entries changed late, and which approved hours are ready for the next handoff.
Basecamp organizes work around projects, to-do lists, to-dos, assignments, subtasks, due dates, messages, files, and schedules. For time review, use the to-do as the main tracking unit when the work belongs to a defined deliverable. Everhour's Basecamp reports can carry the project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status into reports, so reviewers can compare hours with the work structure the team already uses.
A clean weekly entry has a person, date, hours actually worked, Basecamp project, to-do or list, and a short comment for exceptions. Use comments for work that started from a message, file, or schedule item, then attach the time to the closest to-do that represents the deliverable. Separate billable and non-billable work before approval, because that decision changes invoices, cost reports, and client totals.
Weekly review works only if the period closes. Set a submission deadline, review daily totals, and check entries that look unusually high, missing, or out of pattern. Everhour timesheets let team members submit weekly project hours or working hours, and managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Rejection should name the exact entry that needs a correction, such as the wrong to-do, date, or billable status.
Locked periods protect the record after review. Submitted time is locked unless it is withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members in Everhour. Admin corrections still need a controlled path, because payroll and billing teams need to know which totals changed after review. Activity history, reminders, color coding, and later-change visibility give managers concrete signals before a late edit reaches payroll or billing.
A one-off timesheet works for a short project with a few contributors, no recurring approval cycle, and no rate changes. Exported rows can answer a narrow question, such as total hours by person for one week. The risk rises when the same hours feed client billing, labor cost, overtime review, or payroll preparation, because late edits and mixed billable rules change downstream totals.
A managed workflow fits teams that need Basecamp to-dos, submitted hours, rates, approvals, locks, corrections, reports, and exports to stay connected. Everhour adds browser-based tracking controls inside Basecamp, then routes approved time into reports, budgets, invoices, and team timesheet exports. Use that structure when the weekly record needs to survive review, corrections, and the accounting or payroll handoff.

Review time after the week closes, before totals reach payroll, billing, or project reporting. The manager should compare each person's daily hours with assigned Basecamp to-dos, due dates, comments, time off, and client scope. Entries with missing notes, wrong dates, duplicate hours, or unclear deliverables should return to the worker for correction before approval.
Project hours explain where work happened. Working hours explain attendance, capacity, or payroll review. Teams that bill clients usually need project hours tied to Basecamp to-dos, lists, and projects. Teams that also review attendance need working hours in the same weekly cycle, so paid time, time off, and actual project time remain visible before totals close.
Late edits to date, person, Basecamp to-do, hours worked, billable status, or notes weaken the record because each field changes the review result. The most damaging edits happen after approval, when billing or payroll has already used the total. A closed period needs a visible correction path, not informal changes in a separate spreadsheet.
Track at the to-do level when a defined deliverable exists, because the reviewer can connect hours to the assigned work. Use a list or project summary only for work that spans several to-dos, such as project coordination. Broad project-level entries become hard to audit when several people worked on different parts of the same project.
Time off belongs in the same review picture when managers compare scheduled capacity with hours actually worked. Keep it separate from project-task hours, then review both totals before approval. That split prevents vacation, sick leave, or holidays from inflating client work while still giving payroll or staffing reviewers the full weekly picture for each person.
Everhour keeps internal cost rates separate from client-facing billable rates, then applies per-person defaults or per-project overrides to tracked Basecamp work. Dated rate history preserves older calculations after a rate change, and billable work can be priced by project, member, or custom task rate when the client contract requires it.
Everhour supports submitted timesheets, manager approval, rejection, partial approval, and locked periods for reviewed time. Submitted hours stay locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved hours stay locked for regular members, while admins can correct team member entries when payroll or billing review requires a controlled change.
Track Basecamp work with rates that match the contract, then approve, lock, report, and export the reviewed time. Everhour keeps dated cost and billable rates connected to each weekly record.
