Weekly team review for Basecamp work

Create a manager-ready weekly record

Use this page when you need one weekly view of team hours tied to Basecamp work. The goal is a reviewed operating record, not a loose activity recap. Each person's time should connect to the project, list, and to-do that created the work, then move through submission, approval, correction, and lock steps before payroll or client billing uses the totals.

Basecamp provides the work context through projects and to-dos with titles, notes, assignees, subtasks, due dates or date ranges, recurring schedules, and completion status. A useful timesheet keeps that context close to the hours worked. Managers then review whether the right person logged time against the right to-do, whether the note explains ambiguous work, and whether completed tasks still show late or unexpected time.

Capture the right work fields

A team timesheet needs enough detail for a manager to trace every entry without reopening the whole project thread. At minimum, keep the person, date, hours worked, project, list, to-do, and a short note when the work needs explanation. For Basecamp to-do reports, project name, to-do name, list name, task ID, and task status make the review specific enough to challenge or approve.

A single daily total hides the work source. A better weekly record separates entries by to-do when the hours drive billing, cost review, or staffing decisions. Team members can still use short notes, but notes should explain the entry rather than replace the task link. A note such as design fixes has little review value unless the entry also points to the exact to-do and list.

Run the approval cycle

Weekly submission gives the review a deadline. Ask each team member to submit the week after all project hours and working hours are complete, then route the record to the manager who understands the Basecamp work. Approval should confirm three items: the person worked the hours, the hours belong to the named to-do or work category, and corrections are resolved before the record feeds billing or payroll.

Submitted time should stop changing during review. Approved time should stay locked for regular members, with manager rejection or withdrawal used when the employee needs to correct a week. Admin corrections belong in a visible activity history so late changes do not silently alter payroll, billing, or utilization reports. That pattern protects the record while still giving managers a way to fix real mistakes.

Use one-off or managed records

A one-off weekly timesheet is enough when a small team only needs a clean review of hours for one Basecamp project and no recurring approval trail. The record still needs a person, date, hours worked, task context, notes for unclear entries, and a final reviewer. Spreadsheets fail first when late edits, missing submissions, and mixed project hours make the approved total hard to defend.

Everhour is the managed workflow when collected hours need approval, locks, corrections, exports, and billing or payroll review. Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, let managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and keep approved time locked for regular members. Report and team timesheet exports turn the approved week into a usable handoff instead of a separate reconstruction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should Basecamp to-dos be grouped in a weekly review?

Group time by person first, then by project, list, and to-do. That order lets a manager scan each employee's week and still trace hours back to the work item. Use completion status and due-date context during review, because time logged after a to-do is completed or outside the expected week needs a correction or a note.

Which entries need notes before a manager approves them?

Notes belong on entries that would confuse a reviewer: broad task names, corrections, unusually high daily totals, late additions, or work that spans more than one to-do. The note should explain the work or correction in plain language. It should not replace the project, list, and to-do fields that make the entry reportable.

Can one review include both project hours and working hours?

Yes. A team can review project hours for task-level billing or cost analysis and working hours for payroll, attendance, or scheduling context. Keep the two categories labeled so paid time not worked, non-project time, and task time do not collapse into one total. That separation gives managers a cleaner basis for approval.

Why do late edits weaken timesheet records?

Late edits change the record after the reviewer has already relied on it. A payroll handoff, client invoice, or cost report can become inconsistent if a team member adds or changes hours after approval. Lock approved periods for regular members, and handle corrections through a manager-visible process so the approved week stays traceable.

Where should non-to-do Basecamp work appear?

Meeting, schedule, message, file-review, and coordination time need an agreed timesheet category before the week begins. Task-level reports stay clean when to-do hours stay tied to to-dos and other work uses a consistent non-to-do category. Mixing everything into notes makes the weekly record harder to approve and harder to reuse for billing or payroll review.

How does Everhour support weekly approval for Basecamp to-do timesheets?

Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time before payroll or billing review. Submitted time locks during review, and approved time stays locked for regular members unless the workflow sends it back for correction.

How does Everhour keep Basecamp to-do reports tied to the original work?

Everhour's Basecamp integration syncs project and to-do structure into report fields such as project name, to-do name, list name, task ID, and task status. Managers can review team time against the same work context and export reports when the approved record needs spreadsheet or archive handling.

Approve Basecamp time before billing

Track weekly Basecamp to-do hours, collect submissions, approve or reject entries, and lock approved periods before payroll or client invoices use the record. Everhour keeps reviewed team time ready for billing.
