You need a reviewable record of time spent on Linear issue work, not a reconstruction from comments, meetings, and status changes. Each time entry should carry the Linear issue, project, date, duration, billable flag, and a short note when the work needs context. That structure lets managers review the work without guessing why the time exists.
UK teams often use labour hours for payroll review, client billing, and delivery analysis. Those workflows need time actually spent, attached to the issue that produced it. A useful note explains the work type, such as implementation, QA, investigation, design review, or client-requested rework. Vague entries like "project work" create avoidable review questions.
A timer fits active issue work when a developer, designer, or support specialist starts a focused session and stops it when the task changes. The entry reflects elapsed work time and stays tied to the Linear issue. This works well for build tasks, investigation, QA passes, and other work where the person knows the issue before starting.
Manual entry fits completed work that was not timed live, such as a short review, a support interruption, or a correction made after a meeting. Manual time still needs the same fields as timer time: issue, project, date, duration, billable status, and a useful note. Project-level blocks without issue context make later review harder.
Issue estimates describe effort or complexity through scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, and T-shirt sizing. Those values help teams plan work, but labour-hour review needs recorded clock time. Treat estimate values as planning context and logged hours as the record used for billing, payroll review, workload analysis, and future comparisons.
The difference matters when a small-looking issue takes longer than expected or when one complex issue involves several contributors. A UK delivery manager needs recorded labour hours by person and issue to explain where time went. Client billing or internal cost review should use tracked time, rates, and billable status, not planning points.
A one-off entry works when you only need to capture a single issue session. A durable workflow starts when the team needs weekly review, locked periods, approvals, exports, and records ready for billing or payroll review. At that point, the record needs consistency across every person and project, not scattered notes.
Everhour adds that managed layer around Linear work: timers and manual entries feed timesheets, reports, budgets, and approval workflows. Managers can review hours before they reach payroll or billing, protect submitted or approved time from edits, and use Linear-aware reporting to group entries by project, issue, person, status, or tag.

Labour hours should mean time actually spent on issue work, recorded by person, date, duration, and issue. Estimates, cycle metrics, and planning values describe expected effort or delivery flow. Logged labour hours create the operational record for review, billing, payroll checks, and future planning.
Record work that consumes delivery time and belongs to a specific issue: implementation, investigation, QA, design review, documentation, and client-requested changes. Meetings belong on an issue only when the discussion directly advances that issue. General planning or admin work should sit on the correct project or internal task.
Create separate entries for the issues that received the work, using the correct duration and date for each one. Add a note when the context changes, such as review, rework, or handoff support. A single daily block hides which issue used the time and weakens issue-level reporting.
Weekly review produces cleaner records because people still remember what they worked on and managers can catch missing entries early. End-of-project cleanup usually creates vague notes, rounded durations, and time assigned to the wrong issue. Weekly review also gives budget, billing, and workload reports current data.
The biggest mistake is logging hours without issue context. Project-level totals show overall effort, but they do not explain which Linear issue created the work. Add the issue, duration, date, billable flag, and a short note when the entry covers review, rework, or shared work.
Everhour Reporting turns logged Linear issue time into customizable reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and exports. Teams can analyze labour hours by Linear workspace, project, issue, status, tag, or person, then share the report or schedule recurring email delivery for review.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours for manager review. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and submitted or approved entries stay protected from regular edits before payroll, billing, or reporting uses them.
Use Everhour Reporting to group, export, and schedule Linear labour-hour records for billing, payroll review, and delivery control.
