Track your budget through time or costs
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.
You need one weekly view of time spent on Linear issues across multiple contributors. The practical job is to collect project hours by person, compare entries against the work people handled, and prepare the week for payroll, cost reporting, or client review without rebuilding activity from scattered comments.
A strong record connects each entry to the issue, project, person, date, and tracked duration. Linear remains the place where issues, projects, assignees, labels, priorities, statuses, estimates, and cycles organize the work. Everhour adds the time layer through embedded controls, so logged time stays attached to the same work structure managers already review.
A weekly team timesheet should show who worked, which Linear issues received time, which days contain entries, and which totals need attention before approval. Managers should scan missing days, unusually high daily totals, vague entries, and manual time added after the fact. Comments matter when an entry needs context for payroll, billing, or internal cost review.
Submission and approval create the review cycle. A contributor submits the week, the manager approves, rejects, or partially approves it, and corrections happen before the record feeds downstream reporting. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected. Approved time stays locked for regular members, which protects the payroll or billing record from casual late edits.
Estimates on Linear issues are effort or size values, not clock time. Teams can use Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt estimate scales, and those values support issue-flow planning. They do not create a native conversion from points to hours or cost. A timesheet needs actual tracked time, not a copied estimate value.
This distinction matters when a manager explains team capacity, project cost, or budget usage. An issue estimated at 5 points can take 2 hours or 12 hours depending on scope, interruptions, seniority, and review work. Treat estimates as planning context, then use logged time as the operating record for payroll review, cost reporting, and budget tracking.
A free one-off review works when a manager only needs to inspect a small batch of weekly entries and export a simple record. That process breaks down when hours feed budgets, payroll timing, client billing, or recurring cost reviews. The team needs submitted timesheets, approval status, locked periods, and admin corrections with a visible history.
Everhour connects Linear issue time to managed project budgets in hours or money, recurring budget periods, threshold email alerts, and budget protection that stops timers or prevents extra logging at the cap. Approved timesheets then become a reviewed operating record rather than a loose collection of hours.

Review the week by person, issue, project, and day. Check for missing entries, duplicate-looking work, unusually large daily totals, and manual edits that need a comment. Approve only the entries that match the work record, and reject or partially approve time that needs correction before payroll, billing, or cost reporting uses it.
Keep the issue title, project, assignee, status, tags or labels, and date context connected to each time entry. Those fields let managers group weekly hours by contributor, project, and work type. Estimate values can stay visible as planning context, but the approved timesheet should rely on logged hours.
Locked approved time protects the record used for payroll, billing, and cost reporting. Regular members should not change approved entries after the manager closes the week. Admin corrections can still handle real mistakes, but the correction should leave a clear trail so late changes do not silently alter exported totals.
No. Estimate values on Linear issues represent effort or size, not clock time. A team timesheet should record time actually spent on work. Copying estimate values into weekly hours hides overruns, understates review or support work, and creates bad labor-cost data when reports use hours for budgets or payroll review.
Recurring projects need the same weekly review discipline plus period boundaries. Managers should approve the week before budget or payroll exports, then keep later corrections controlled. Recurring budget periods also need consistent hour cutoffs, so time does not drift into the wrong reporting period.
Everhour Project Budgeting tracks Linear project time against hour-based or money-based budgets, including recurring budget periods. Admins can set threshold email alerts and budget protection, so timers stop or extra logging is blocked when the project reaches its cap.
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 before payroll, billing, or reporting uses the data.
Track Linear issue time in Everhour, approve weekly timesheets, lock reviewed periods, and compare hours against project budgets for cleaner payroll, billing, and cost reporting.
