Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Your weekly record needs to show who worked, which Linear issue or project the time belongs to, the date of the work, the hours logged, and any comment needed for review. Linear issues provide the work structure through details such as team, project, cycle, labels, assignee, priority, status, and estimate. The timesheet turns that structure into a person-by-person record of time actually reported.
The review should happen before hours feed payroll support, client costing, or internal cost reporting. A manager needs to see whether each contributor submitted the week, whether daily totals look complete, and whether entries match the right issue. That level of review matters when several developers work across the same Linear projects and one late correction can change a team report.
A strong timesheet keeps Linear issue context attached to each entry without turning planning data into worked time. The issue title, project, assignee, status, cycle, labels, and priority help a reviewer understand why the entry exists and where the work belongs. The actual hours still come from submitted time entries, because the timesheet is a record of work performed during the week.
Estimates on Linear issues should stay in the planning lane. Linear estimate values are team-level effort or size values that can use Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt scales, with optional extended values. A common mistake is treating those values as hours because the report needs a number. That breaks labor totals and gives finance or operations a record that cannot support a clear review.
Review the weekly grid by person and day before approving it. Look for missing workdays, unusually large daily totals, entries on the wrong project, and comments that do not explain the work. Corrections should happen before approval whenever possible, because the approved week becomes the record used by payroll support, cost reporting, and management review.
Approval should create a controlled boundary. Submitted time should be protected during review, and approved time should stay locked for regular members. Admin corrections still need a traceable path, especially when a manager moves time to the correct issue, fixes a wrong project, or adjusts an entry after the contributor has already submitted the week.
A free one-off timesheet is enough for a small Australian team that only needs a short weekly check and does not rely on the record for recurring payroll support, billing, or cost reporting. It works when contributors enter hours consistently, one reviewer checks the week, and all corrections happen before approval. The risk grows when multiple managers, projects, and reporting handoffs depend on the same data.
Everhour turns collected hours into a managed operating record around Linear work. Managers can review submitted time, approve or reject entries, lock completed periods, and use visual resource planning timelines to compare planned capacity with actual tracked time. That workflow supports teams that need weekly time records, capacity review, and cost visibility without rebuilding the record after each reporting cycle.

A weekly timesheet should capture the person, date, hours, Linear issue, project, and comment for each entry. Issue context such as status, cycle, labels, assignee, and priority helps the reviewer confirm where the work belongs. The approval status also matters, because submitted, rejected, partially approved, and approved time represent different review states.
Managers should use estimates on Linear issues as planning context only. The review should compare submitted hours with the work record, comments, and issue context, then flag entries that look incomplete or misplaced. Copying effort values into a timesheet creates a labor record that does not show time actually worked by each person.
A weekly grid shows gaps and patterns faster than isolated entries. The reviewer can see missing days, overloaded dates, project switches, and contributors who have not submitted the week. Separate entry checks still help for detailed corrections, but the grid gives the manager the control view needed before approval.
Approved time should be corrected through an admin-controlled process, with a record of the change. The correction should identify the affected person, date, issue, project, and reason for the adjustment. Regular members should not casually edit approved periods, because payroll support, billing, or cost reporting may already have used the approved record.
Late, unexplained edits create the most rework. A change after approval can force payroll support, billing, and cost reports to be checked again. The cleaner workflow is to find missing entries, wrong projects, and vague comments during the weekly review, then approve the corrected week and lock it from regular edits.
Everhour Resource Planning uses visual timelines with member and project views, weekly capacity, availability gaps, scheduled time off, and planned-vs-actual comparisons. Managers can plan workloads around Linear projects, then compare the plan with the time the team actually tracked.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is protected from regular edits, while admins can manage corrections when a reviewed period needs cleanup.
Move from scattered weekly entries to approved Linear work records. Everhour connects resource planning, submitted timesheets, locked periods, and corrections so Australian teams keep capacity and cost reporting aligned.
