You landed here to record time against Linear work without turning issue updates into a separate admin job. The practical result is a clean time record for each issue: project, issue, date, duration, billable status, and a short note that explains the work. That record supports review later, especially when Australian teams need a defensible trail for billing, payroll checks, or internal project reporting.
Everhour syncs active Linear projects and issues from selected workspaces and keeps renamed tasks and projects updated. Everhour then adds the hour record through embedded controls, so a person can start a timer or add manual time from the issue instead of reconstructing the day from memory. The strongest setup keeps the entry attached to one issue and uses notes only for clarification, not as a substitute for the issue link.
A useful entry names the Linear issue, records the date worked, shows the exact duration, marks the time as billable or non-billable, and includes a concise note when the title does not explain the activity. For example, a billable implementation entry can describe API mapping work, while a non-billable entry can record internal scoping. The issue remains the source context; the time entry supplies the commercial and review details.
Timers fit focused work that starts and ends around one issue. Manual entry fits work logged after the fact, short follow-ups, or corrected totals after a meeting split. The common mistake is mixing several issues into one entry because the total looks right. That saves a minute today and creates review work later, since the project report cannot show which issue consumed the time.
Australian teams usually care about issue hours in two review lanes: client billing and internal time approval. The billing lane needs billable status, rates, and a clean project breakdown. The approval lane needs weekly totals by person, comments that explain unusual entries, and a locked record after review. Keeping those lanes separate stops a payroll review from becoming a client invoice audit.
Use one policy for naming, notes, and billable treatment across the team. A developer should not write "fixes" on one entry while another writes the ticket number and client-facing task name. A project lead should decide whether support, rework, discovery, or internal planning is billable before the week closes. Consistent wording makes Australian client reports easier to read and makes internal review faster.
A free, one-off workflow is enough when you need a quick record for a small project, a short engagement, or a single person's issue history. It breaks down when several people track time across Linear projects, rates differ by client or person, or managers need approved weekly totals before billing or payroll review. At that point, the record needs controls, not just entries.
Everhour turns Linear issue time into a managed workflow with approvals, locked periods, reports, and billing handoff. Teams can keep work in Linear while Everhour separates billable and non-billable time, applies project billing settings, supports task-level non-billable controls, and reports billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost for admin review.

Linear estimate values describe effort for planning and analytics, not clock time or cost. Linear supports estimate scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, and T-shirt sizing, and unestimated issues can default to 1 estimate point. Treat estimates as planning inputs and tracked hours as the record used for billing, approval, and project cost review.
A billable flag is necessary when issue hours can affect client invoices, project margins, or non-billable reporting. The flag tells the reviewer whether the time should be charged or kept for internal analysis only. Teams that skip this step usually discover the gap at invoice time, when someone has to reread issue history and comments.
Daily review catches running timers, missing notes, and entries attached to the wrong issue while the work is still fresh. Weekly review fits approval, billing preparation, and payroll context because it shows each person's full pattern. A practical setup uses light daily correction and a formal weekly approval point before reports or invoices use the data.
A short note works when the Linear issue title clearly describes the deliverable. A vague issue title needs a stronger entry note, such as the specific implementation, review, or support activity completed. Client-facing records should avoid internal shorthand that only the delivery team understands, because invoice review often happens weeks after the work.
Putting non-billable work into billable entries distorts cost and revenue reporting faster than small rounding differences. Internal meetings, rework, presales support, and admin cleanup need the right billable treatment from the start. A clean split lets project reports show the full labor effort without charging the client for work that belongs outside the invoice.
Everhour supports billable and non-billable handling through project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, and member-rate exceptions. Admin reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so Linear issue work stays useful for both client billing and internal margin review.
Everhour timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is protected from regular member edits unless the workflow sends it back for correction, which keeps reviewed Linear work stable for billing or payroll follow-up.
Track approved Linear issue hours with billable controls, non-billable exceptions, and admin reporting. Everhour connects the work record to billing review without losing the issue context.
