Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
A dev team timesheet gives each person's week a reviewable record: date, issue, project, hours worked, notes, and approval status. The record turns daily issue activity into a clean weekly handoff for billing, payroll review, cost reporting, and workload follow-up across the issues your team already uses to organize work.
For a manager, the useful view is a weekly grid by person with entries tied back to specific Linear issues. That view shows whether hours match the work completed, whether a contributor forgot a day, and whether comments explain unusual totals. A timesheet should make review faster than chasing status messages at the end of the week.
Each row needs enough detail for a reviewer to trace the time without reopening every issue. Include the person, date, Linear issue, project, submitted hours, entry note, and entry source when your system distinguishes timer time from manual time. Grouping by week keeps the record aligned with approvals, payroll cutoffs, and recurring cost reports.
Use issue effort values only as planning context. A size value attached to an issue does not show who worked, which date they worked, or how many hours they recorded. For team timesheets, use actual logged hours and keep issue metadata beside them so reviewers can compare plan, status, and real work.
Approval should happen after the reviewer checks missing days, duplicate entries, unusually long days, and issue notes that are too vague for billing or internal costing. The reviewer also needs the authority to send time back for correction. A rejected or partially approved week gives the contributor a precise fix instead of leaving the manager to edit totals silently.
Locked periods matter because late edits change reports that people already used. After approval, regular contributors should not keep changing the same week without a visible correction path. Admin corrections still need a trail: original entry, revised entry, editor, date, and reason. That trail protects payroll review, client billing, and project cost analysis from unexplained changes.
A one-off timesheet works when you need a single weekly summary, a small internal review, or a quick archive for one project. It breaks down when developers log across several projects, rates vary by person or project, approvals happen after submission, and accounting needs the same record after the week closes.
At that point, the team needs a managed workflow: submitted time, manager approval, locked periods, admin corrections, exports, and rates that stay tied to the original work. Everhour sits on top of Linear issue work so approved hours feed reporting, cost review, and billable records without rebuilding a timesheet by hand.

A useful weekly record shows the contributor, date, issue, project, hours worked, entry note, submission status, approval status, and any correction history. The reviewer should be able to follow the week from issue work to approved time without asking for a separate status recap.
The approver should be the person accountable for the work record, usually an engineering manager, project lead, or operations owner. That person checks completeness, asks for corrections, and approves only the hours that are ready for payroll review, billing, or cost reporting.
No. Issue effort values are planning and scope signals, while a timesheet records time actually spent by a person on a date. Treat effort values as context for review, then use logged hours for payroll review, billing support, and project cost reporting.
Review missing days, duplicate entries, very long daily totals, entries on the wrong issue, and notes that do not identify the work. Past-date entries and large manual blocks also deserve attention because they rely on memory instead of a live work record.
Lock rules protect records after a reviewer signs off. A closed week should not keep changing while payroll, invoicing, or cost reports use the approved totals. Corrections still belong in the process, with approval context, a clear history, and a reason tied to the original entry.
Everhour separates internal cost rates from billable rates, then applies per-person defaults or per-project overrides to approved time. Dated rate changes preserve older calculations, and billable work can be priced by project, member, or task so finance can review labor cost and client revenue from the same time record.
Everhour Timesheets supports a submit, approve, reject, or partially approve workflow for weekly project hours and working hours. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays protected for regular members so managers can finish payroll or billing review against a stable record.
Everhour keeps cost and billable rates separate, applies per-person or per-project rates, and preserves dated rate changes so approved Linear work turns into accurate billing and cost reporting.
