A Linear sprint timesheet is for collecting each contributor's weekly hours against the Linear issues and projects worked during the sprint period. The goal is a reviewed operating record, not a rough activity recap. Each row should connect time to the relevant issue context, the person who did the work, the date, and any comment needed to explain a nonstandard entry.
The manager's job is to catch missing days, unusual totals, issue misclassifications, and late manual entries before the week moves into payroll, billing, or cost reporting. A clean review cycle gives contributors one place to submit time and gives approvers one record to approve, reject, or send back for correction.
A useful sprint timesheet starts with issue-level time. Linear issues carry work context such as title, status, assignee, priority, estimate, label, and project. Logged hours should follow that structure so a manager can review time by person, issue, project, and sprint period without rebuilding the week in a spreadsheet.
Estimates on Linear issues should stay separate from hours actually worked. Estimate values represent planned effort or size, while timesheet entries record time spent. A completed issue with a 5-point estimate and 7.5 hours logged tells a different story than an issue with no time entry at all. The timesheet must preserve both planning context and actual hours.
Weekly sprint review works best when contributors submit time at the end of the period and managers approve it before downstream reporting starts. Approval should confirm that each person recorded the right days, assigned hours to the right Linear issues, and added comments where the entry needs context. Rejections should point to a specific fix, not a vague request to check the week.
Submitted sprint time should stay locked unless a contributor withdraws it or a manager rejects it, and approved sprint time stays locked for regular members. Admin corrections can still clean up payroll or billing records. The correction trail should explain what changed because a late edit can alter payroll totals, client billing, overtime review, project cost, and sprint reporting.
A free sprint timesheet workflow is enough when one manager needs a quick weekly check for a small team and the record does not feed payroll, billing, or budget decisions. The limit appears when sprint time needs approvals, locked periods, correction history, exports, rates, budget alerts, and a consistent handoff to accounting or management reporting.
Everhour turns collected Linear issue hours into a reviewed operating record. Teams can track time from Linear through embedded controls, submit weekly timesheets, approve or reject entries, lock approved periods, and carry tracked hours into reports, budgets, and exports. That gives managers a durable path from issue-level work to sprint cost and team accountability.

Group sprint time by person, week, Linear project, and issue. That view lets a manager see whether each contributor covered the expected sprint work and whether hours sit on the right issues. Status context can support the review, but the approved timesheet should record hours actually worked, not only movement through issue states.
The most useful details are issue title, project, assignee, status, labels, date, hours, and entry comments. Comments matter when an entry covers investigation, rework, support, or work that does not fit the issue title cleanly. A manager should be able to understand the week without asking every contributor to reconstruct it later.
No. Estimate points and hours serve different jobs. Estimates on Linear issues describe planned size or effort, while timesheet entries record time actually spent. A team can compare the two for planning review, but payroll, billing, and cost reporting need recorded hours with dates, people, and issue context.
Managers should look for missing weekdays, duplicate entries, large daily totals, time recorded against the wrong issue, and manual entries added after the work period with no explanation. A clean approval review also checks that rejected or corrected entries return before payroll, billing, or budget reporting uses the week's totals.
Locked periods prevent regular members from editing submitted time unless it is withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members. That protects payroll totals, billing records, and project cost reports from silent late edits. Admins can still correct records when needed, with enough history to explain what changed and why.
Everhour Project Budgeting lets managers set hour-based or money-based budgets, recurring budget periods, threshold email alerts, and budget protection for project work. For Linear-connected teams, logged issue time can feed budget review while synced project and issue data keeps reporting tied to the work record.
Everhour Timesheets let contributors submit weekly project hours or working hours for review. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and approved entries stay locked for regular members so payroll, billing, and reporting use a reviewed record.
Track Linear issue hours in Everhour, review timesheets, connect logged project time to budgets and alerts, then export reviewed records for payroll, billing, and cost reporting.
