Turning Basecamp work into reviewed team hours

Start with the week's review

Use this page when Friday's problem is a stack of Basecamp work and one manager needs a reviewed record of who spent time where. The useful output is a weekly grid by person and day, with each entry tied to a project, list, or to-do. That structure lets a reviewer spot missing days, oversized totals, and time logged against the wrong work before hours feed payroll review, client billing, or internal reporting.

Keep the review focused on team hours instead of personal productivity theater. Basecamp to-dos supply the work context: title, notes, assignee, subtasks, due date, and completion status. The timesheet review adds the operating layer: submitted time, approval or rejection, protected approved entries, and admin corrections when the record needs cleanup.

Make each row defensible

A weekly timesheet row needs enough detail for a manager who did not watch the work happen. Record the person, work date, hours, Basecamp project, list or to-do, and a short note when the title alone does not explain the time. In the connected reporting layer, Basecamp project names, to-do names, section or list names, task number, and task status form the reporting spine.

For example, a designer logs 3.25 hours on Tuesday to a client homepage to-do, adds "final responsive review," and keeps unrelated admin time off that to-do. The reviewer can read the row without opening every discussion, confirm the work belongs to the week, and separate client-facing project hours from internal work. Missing to-do anchors create totals that look complete but fail at billing review.

Close the week before handoff

Weekly review works best when contributors submit time after the work week closes and managers approve before anyone exports, invoices, or sends totals to payroll. Submitted time should stop casual edits while the reviewer checks totals, notes, and task placement. Approved time should stay locked for regular members, because late edits break the shared record and force accounting or billing staff to re-check numbers they already accepted.

Admin corrections need a visible trail. An admin can correct time entries for team members after the issue is confirmed, which helps clean up payroll or billing records without repeated back-and-forth. Treat color-coded unusual totals, missing hours, auto-stopped timers, and later changes as review prompts, because those signals point to entries that need confirmation before the week closes.

Move from sheet to system

A one-off weekly sheet is enough when a solo contractor needs a quick summary or a small team reviews one short project. It breaks down when several people submit time across Basecamp projects, different managers approve different work, or locked periods matter. At that point, the timesheet functions as an operating record rather than a worksheet, and the review process needs assignments, approvals, corrections, and exports that survive the end of the week.

Everhour fits the managed workflow by embedding time tracking in Basecamp through the browser extension, then keeping tracked time available for reports, team timesheet exports, and owner-level ZIP exports of team time logs. Admins can lock approved periods, correct member entries, and support review before payroll or billing use the numbers. That gives the week a clear path from Basecamp to-dos to a reviewed record.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should a weekly team timesheet be reviewed?

Review by person first, then by project. Person-level review catches missing days, overtime-looking spikes, and entries that need a note. Project-level review catches time placed on the wrong client or to-do. Finish the review before payroll, billing, or reporting uses the totals, because late changes make every downstream number suspect.

Which Basecamp detail should anchor each timesheet entry?

The to-do should be the default anchor when the work has one. It carries the clearest work context: title, notes, assignee, subtasks, due date, and completion status. Use the project or list only when the work does not belong to a specific to-do yet, and add a comment that explains the task.

Should submitted weekly hours stay editable?

Submitted hours should be protected while the manager reviews them. Regular members need a withdrawal or rejection path for corrections, and approved time should stay locked for regular members after review. Admins can still make corrections when the record needs cleanup, but the change should carry enough context for payroll or billing review.

How do corrections belong in a team timesheet?

Corrections belong close to the original entry, with the changed date, person, task, hours, and reason visible to the reviewer. A manager should reject or return unclear entries when the employee needs to fix them. Admin edits make sense for cleanup after confirmation, especially when payroll or client billing cannot wait for another submission cycle.

Can a weekly timesheet include time off?

Yes. A complete team picture can place time off beside project hours when the workflow tracks both. Paid absence should stay separate from project task time, because it answers a different question. Project hours show work delivered; time off explains capacity, scheduling gaps, and gross weekly totals for review.

How does Everhour add timesheets inside Basecamp work?

Everhour embeds tracking controls in Basecamp through the browser extension, so contributors can record time next to the work they are already using. The integration syncs Basecamp project, list, to-do, task ID, and task status details into Everhour reports, keeping weekly review tied to the same work structure.

How does Everhour protect approved team time?

Everhour supports submission, approval, rejection, partial approval, and locked periods for timesheets. Managers can approve weekly entries before payroll or billing, regular members cannot change approved time, and admins can correct member entries when the record needs cleanup without reopening the whole week.

Keep Basecamp hours review-ready

Track time inside Basecamp through Everhour's browser extension, keep to-do context synced into reports, and move reviewed weekly hours to approvals, exports, payroll review, or billing without duplicate entry.
