Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Attach each time entry to the Basecamp to-do that produced the work. The useful record is narrow: one to-do, one project, one date, one duration, and a short note when the entry needs context. That structure lets a manager review the work by task instead of sorting through loose daily totals.
Basecamp work often starts in a project, then moves through lists, assignments, due dates, subtasks, and completion status. Per-to-do time tracking keeps the time record attached to that structure. A design revision, bug fix, client call prep item, or QA task should carry its own hours instead of disappearing into a generic project total.
A timer fits active work when the person starts from the to-do and stops when the work pauses. It keeps the entry close to the actual task, which matters when several small to-dos happen in the same day. Manual entry fits after-the-fact logging, cleanup, or work performed away from the browser.
A clean entry needs enough detail to survive review. The to-do name identifies the work, the Basecamp project shows the client or initiative, the date places it in the billing or payroll period, the duration states the time spent, and the note explains exceptions. Everhour's Basecamp reporting can use project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status fields for review.
Per-to-do totals help you catch two common mistakes: time posted to the wrong project and time summarized too broadly. A weekly note such as "development, 12 hours" forces the reviewer to guess which to-dos consumed the time. Entries tied to named to-dos show which tasks absorbed the budget and which assignments stayed small.
Billable status should come from the billing setup, not from a casual note. In Everhour, admins configure Basecamp projects as hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable, and can mark specific tasks non-billable or use custom rates. That keeps per-to-do totals useful for both operational review and invoice preparation.
A simple one-off record works when one person needs a quick task total or a small team needs a CSV for review. It becomes thin when the same Basecamp work feeds client billing, budget checks, payroll review, or manager approval. Those workflows need repeatable rules and protected records.
Everhour turns Basecamp to-do entries into a managed record by adding approvals, locked periods, reporting, billing setup, and budget alerts. Admins can set automatic budget emails at 50%, 80%, or custom thresholds, then use task-level and project-level data to review costs before billing or payroll handoff.

A useful entry includes the Basecamp to-do, project, date, duration, person, and a note when the work needs explanation. The to-do gives the task context, the project gives the client or initiative context, and the date places the time in the correct review period.
Use a timer for active work that starts from a specific to-do and stops when the work stops. Use manual entry for time recorded after the fact, corrected entries, or work completed away from the browser. Teams should keep both methods tied to the exact to-do that produced the work.
Per-to-do totals show which tasks created the billable work instead of leaving all hours at the project level. Reviewers can compare task names, notes, dates, and durations before approving time for an invoice. That detail also helps spot entries placed under the wrong project or list.
Billable setup should live in the project and task rules, not in vague time-entry notes. Everhour supports Basecamp projects set as hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable, plus task-level non-billable marking and custom rates for specific tasks.
Per-to-do tracking should attach to the Basecamp to-do record that represents the work. Everhour's documented Basecamp reporting centers on projects, lists, and to-dos, with fields such as to-do name, list, task ID, and task status.
Everhour Expenses records project costs alongside tracked hours, including receipt images or PDFs and unit-based categories such as mileage or copies. Teams can review expenses by project, client, member, category, date range, and billable status before reimbursement, billing, or profitability review.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is protected from edits unless it is withdrawn or rejected, which keeps Basecamp to-do records stable for review.
