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 useful weekly record shows developer hours by person, issue, project, and period before the numbers reach payroll, billing, cost reporting, or capacity planning. The review outcome is simple: submitted time is complete, questionable entries are corrected, and approved hours become the source record for the week.
That record should follow the Linear work structure your team already uses. Linear issues can include project, assignee, status, priority, labels, cycle, and estimate context. Developer time belongs next to the issue or project it supports, so the reviewer checks familiar work items instead of disconnected spreadsheet notes.
Developer time should be logged against the issue or project where the work happened. Each entry needs a person, date, duration, work item, and enough comment detail to explain the session during review. A useful week separates implementation, investigation, review, and support work when those activities need different reporting treatment.
Linear estimates describe effort or size, using scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt. Tracked hours answer a different question: time actually spent. Keep those concepts separate in cost reporting. Estimate points can help plan scope, but approved hours create the operating record for payroll review, client billing, and labor cost analysis.
Team hours become trustworthy when a manager reviews the full week before downstream reports use the data. The approver should look for missing days, unusual daily totals, entries on the wrong work item, and late manual additions. A correction made before approval is cleaner than a correction made after payroll or cost reports are prepared.
Approval also creates a clear cutoff. Submitted time should stop casual editing while the manager reviews it, and approved time should stay locked for regular members. Admin corrections still need to remain possible, but later changes should be visible in the record so finance can explain why a weekly total changed after review.
A one-off time record is enough when you need to collect a small team's hours for a single week, reconcile a short project, or prepare a quick cost check. It stops being enough when the same review cycle repeats every week, several contributors touch the same Linear project, or late edits create payroll and reporting risk.
A managed workflow connects collected hours to a reviewed operating record. Everhour adds embedded controls for Linear through the browser extension, syncs Linear workspace, project, issue, status, and tag data into reports, and supports timesheet submission, approval, locked periods, admin corrections, and exports for payroll or cost reporting.

A weekly review should check each person's submitted time for missing workdays, unusually high daily totals, manual entries added late, entries on the wrong work item, and comments that do not explain the work. Approve only the entries that match the period and correct questionable records before payroll, billing, or cost reports use the data.
No. Linear estimates are effort or size values, with scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt. Developer hours record time actually spent by a person on a work item. Use estimate points for scope and planning context, then use approved tracked hours for payroll review, project cost reporting, and billing support.
The approver should be the person responsible for the work record, usually an engineering manager, project lead, delivery manager, or operations owner. The approver needs enough context to judge whether the listed work items, dates, and totals match the work performed. Finance can use the approved record after that review, but finance should not guess whether an issue entry is correct.
Locked periods protect approved time from casual changes after review. That matters because payroll, billing, and cost reports often rely on the same weekly totals. If regular members can edit old entries after approval, the report used by finance can stop matching the record reviewed by the manager.
An admin should make the correction, review the effect on the weekly total, and keep the change visible for anyone using the record in payroll, billing, or cost reporting. Late corrections are sometimes necessary, but they need a clear review trail because they can change approved totals.
Everhour embeds time controls into Linear through its browser extension and syncs Linear workspace, project, issue, status, and tag data into Everhour reports. Developers can record time from the Linear work context, while managers review hours against the same issue structure the team already uses.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours for review. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and approved time stays locked for regular members so payroll review and cost reporting use a reviewed record.
Track developer hours from Linear issues into Everhour, then review, approve, lock, and export team timesheets for cleaner payroll handoffs and project cost reporting.
