Use this page when you need a weekly record of time spent on Linear issues by more than one contributor. The practical goal is a reviewed timesheet, not a loose list of timers. Each entry should connect work time to the Linear issue, assignee, project, status, tag, and date context that managers use when they review the week.
A useful record shows who worked, which issue the time belongs to, whether the entry came from a timer or manual input, and which week the manager approved. That matters when payroll, client billing, or project cost reporting relies on the same hours. A comment belongs on entries that need explanation, such as rework, support work, or time added after the day ended.
A weekly timesheet for Linear work should group entries by person and date, then tie each row back to the issue and project. The manager reviews daily totals, issue-level hours, missing days, and unusually large manual entries before approval. A clean week closes with submitted hours, approved or rejected rows, and no unresolved gaps.
Estimates on Linear issues belong in planning. Worked hours belong in the timesheet. Linear estimate scales can use Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt values, so they represent effort or size, not clock time. Treating those values as hours creates a bad payroll handoff and a weak cost report. The timesheet should show time actually worked or recorded time off, not planning points.
Team time becomes trustworthy when the reviewer checks patterns, not just totals. Look for days with no entries, entries assigned to the wrong issue, large blocks without comments, time logged to closed work, and manual entries added after the week ended. These checks prevent a neat-looking total from hiding the wrong project cost.
The review cycle needs a clear rule for corrections. Regular contributors should fix missing or misassigned entries before submission when possible. Managers should reject or partially approve a submitted week when only part of the record is ready. After approval, the period should lock for regular members, and any admin correction should leave a trail that explains what changed.
A free one-off workflow works for a small team that needs a short-term export or a quick review of one week. It stops being enough when several contributors submit time across projects, payroll deadlines depend on approved totals, or accounting needs the same hours by person, issue, project, and date without rebuilding the record manually.
Everhour turns collected Linear issue hours into an operating record through weekly timesheets, submission, approval, rejection, partial approval, locked approved time, and admin corrections. Tracked time can then feed exports, billing review, payroll review, and cost reporting from the same approved source instead of a spreadsheet assembled after the fact.

The time review should preserve the issue, project, assignee, status, tag, date, person, hours, and comment when a note is needed. Linear issues already carry work context such as team, project, cycle, labels, assignee, priority, and status. The timesheet adds the missing operational layer: who recorded time, when they recorded it, and whether a manager approved it.
Estimates on Linear issues should not replace worked hours. Linear estimate scales use values such as 1-2-4-8-16, Fibonacci values, Linear values, or T-Shirt sizes, depending on the team setting. Those values describe effort or size for planning. A payroll or cost record needs hours tied to a person, issue, date, and review status.
Review missing days, unusually high daily totals, large manual entries, time assigned to the wrong issue, and entries added after the work period. These entries create the largest reporting errors because they can move cost to the wrong project or change payroll totals after the team believes the week is closed.
Weekly approval fits most team review cycles because managers can compare issue time, working hours, time off, and project totals in one view. Daily checks still matter for active timers and missing entries. A weekly approval deadline gives contributors time to fix small mistakes while keeping payroll and billing records from drifting after the period closes.
Approved issue time should be locked so regular members cannot change a reviewed payroll, billing, or cost record after the manager signs off. Late edits break the link between the approved total and the report exported from it. Admin corrections can still happen when policy allows them, but the correction should show who changed the entry and why.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let users submit time for review. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and approved time stays locked for regular members, which keeps Linear issue hours ready for payroll or billing review.
Everhour syncs Linear workspace, project, issue, status, and tag data into reports, so tracked hours can be grouped and filtered by the same work context the team uses. Reports can be exported when accounting, payroll, or project leads need reviewed time outside Everhour.
Turn weekly Linear issue time into a reviewed operating record. Everhour supports submissions, approvals, locked periods, and exports, giving teams cleaner payroll and billing review.
