A Linear timesheet is for managers who need one weekly view of team time tied to the issues people worked on. The practical goal is a reviewed record, not a loose collection of timers. Each entry should show the person, the issue, the work date, the hours, and any context needed to explain unusual totals or later corrections.
The week should end with submitted time, manager review, and an approved period that regular members cannot keep changing. That review cycle matters when the same records support payroll checks, client billing, project costs, or overtime visibility when overtime tracking is enabled. A timesheet that stays editable after approval creates conflicting versions of the week and weakens the handoff to finance or HR.
A useful weekly grid groups hours by person and day, then ties each time entry back to the issue that carried the work. Issue titles, projects, status, assignees, and tags give the reviewer enough context to spot missing work, duplicated entries, or hours logged to the wrong issue. Comments should explain exceptions, corrections, or work that falls outside the normal pattern.
Managers should review submitted time before it feeds payroll, billing, or cost reports. The review should confirm that every contributor submitted the week, daily totals look reasonable, and project hours match the work that actually moved through Linear. Submitted time should stay locked unless the employee withdraws it or the manager rejects it for correction.
Team timesheets fail when approval is treated as a formality. A manager should check missing days, unusual daily totals, late manual entries, and issue assignments that do not match the person who logged the time. Time off belongs in the gross weekly context when the team uses working-hour totals, because payroll and capacity reviews need the full picture.
Admin corrections should leave a clear trail instead of creating a private spreadsheet beside the system record. A corrected entry should keep the person, issue, date, and reason clear enough for later payroll or cost questions. Locked periods protect approved weeks, while admin edits handle legitimate fixes without reopening every employee's submitted time.
A free one-off timesheet works for a small cleanup task, such as gathering last week's hours from a few contributors before a project retrospective. It stops being enough when time needs approval, locked periods, rate-based cost reporting, or a repeatable export. Shared spreadsheets also break down when late edits arrive after payroll or a client invoice has already used the numbers.
Everhour turns issue time into a managed review process with timesheet submission, manager approval, locked periods, admin corrections, and exports. Cost and billable rates stay separate, with per-person defaults, per-project overrides, dated rate history, and project, member, or task pricing for billable work. That structure turns collected hours into a record finance and delivery leads can use.

A team timesheet should group time by person, day, issue, and project. The reviewer needs enough issue context to confirm that hours were logged to the right work and enough daily context to spot missing or unusual totals. Submitted weeks should move through approval before the hours feed payroll, billing, or cost reports.
Payroll review needs the worker, work date, hours, issue, project, and approval status. Comments belong on unusual entries, corrected time, or work that needs explanation. Working-hour totals and time off context matter when the team reviews gross weekly time, because project hours alone do not always explain a person's full week.
Partial approval fits a week where most entries are correct and only specific entries need changes. The manager can approve clean time and send the problem entries back for correction. That approach keeps valid records moving while preserving a clear review path for missing hours, wrong issues, or unexplained manual entries.
Approved time should stay locked for regular members so payroll, billing, and cost reports reference one stable version of the week. Legitimate fixes should go through withdrawal, rejection, or admin correction according to the team's policy. Late informal edits create mismatched records across timesheets, invoices, and financial reports.
Estimate values on Linear issues are effort points, not clock time. Linear does not define a native conversion from points to hours or cost, so timesheets should use recorded hours tied to people and dates. Payroll and cost reporting need time entries, not estimate values.
Everhour separates cost rates from billable rates, so the same approved issue time can support internal cost review and client billing. Admins can use per-person default rates, per-project overrides, dated rate changes, and project, member, or task pricing depending on the billing model.
Everhour lets users submit weekly project hours or working hours, then lets managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is protected from regular edits, while admins can correct entries when payroll or reporting records need a controlled fix.
Track approved issue time with separate cost and billable rates, dated rate history, and controlled approvals. Everhour gives teams a reviewed record for payroll, billing, and cost reporting.
