A Canadian Linear timesheet should give a manager one weekly view of each contributor's time across Linear issues before payroll, cost reporting, or internal allocation uses the numbers. The record needs issue-level hours, working-hour totals, dates, comments where needed, and a visible review status. A payroll handoff should show approved time, not a loose set of timer entries and late manual edits.
The practical goal is simple: collect the week, check the week, approve the week, then protect it from routine changes. Linear remains the place where the work is organized by issue, project, assignee, status, labels, and cycle. Everhour supplies the time layer around that work, including day and week timesheet views, timer and manual entries, and reports based on synced Linear project and issue data.
A good weekly timesheet separates task time from general working hours when your process needs both. Task time answers where the work went: project, issue, person, and date. Working hours answer how much time the person recorded for the day or week. That distinction matters when payroll review, capacity planning, and project cost reporting all read the same week from different angles.
Review the week before approval. Look for missing days, unusual daily totals, unassigned or unclear issue entries, and time logged after the period should have closed. Comments should explain exceptions, not every routine entry. If a developer records 6 hours on one Linear issue and 2 hours across support work, the record should make that split clear before the manager signs off.
For Canadian payroll review, the timesheet should preserve the details your process needs by worker category, province, employer policy, and contract terms. Avoid turning project issue data into payroll-ready records until a manager reviews the submitted week and confirms corrections. The approved record should show time actually worked, dates, person, issue context, and any exception notes required for handoff.
The common mistake is treating estimates on Linear issues as worked time. Estimates on Linear issues describe effort or size values, using scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt. A timesheet needs clock time recorded against the work, not effort points copied into hours. Keep estimates useful for planning, then use tracked entries for payroll review and cost reporting.
A free one-off timesheet workflow is enough when you need to gather a small week's worth of issue hours and check totals manually. It stops being enough when several contributors submit time, managers approve different people, payroll needs a stable handoff, and late edits need a visible trail. At that point, the week needs review status, locks, corrections, and exports.
Everhour turns collected Linear hours into a managed operating record. Team members can submit weekly project hours or working hours, managers can approve, reject, or partially approve entries, and approved time stays locked for regular members. Admin corrections can clean up records without reopening the whole process, while exports and reports carry approved time into payroll or cost review.

A Canadian team should organize the week by person, date, Linear project, and issue. Each entry should show actual time worked, not estimate points. Managers should review missing days, unusual totals, and unclear issue assignments before approval. Payroll rules, worker category, province, employer policy, and contract terms decide how the approved record is interpreted.
Estimates on Linear issues should stay separate from timesheet hours. Estimate scales describe effort or size, while a timesheet records clock time. Using estimate points as hours creates inaccurate payroll and cost records. Track actual time against the issue, then compare tracked hours with estimates only for planning and reporting review.
An approval-ready Linear timesheet shows the person, week, daily totals, issue-level time, project context, working-hour totals when used, comments for exceptions, and a clear submitted status. The manager should check that entries match the right Linear issues and that corrections happen before approval. Approved time should then be protected from regular edits.
Approved weekly time should be locked because payroll, billing, and cost reports need a stable record. Late edits after approval can change totals that another team has already exported or reviewed. A correction process should keep the change visible and controlled, especially when the edit affects a closed week or a payroll handoff.
One reviewed timesheet can support both workflows when it preserves the right fields. Payroll review needs person, dates, working-hour totals, approval status, and policy context. Project cost reporting needs issue, project, member, rate, and date data. Keep the source entries consistent, then let each report use the columns it needs.
Everhour Resource Planning gives managers visual timelines with member and project views, weekly capacity, availability gaps, scheduled time off, and planned-vs-actual time comparisons. That context helps reviewers spot weeks where recorded work does not match expected capacity or planned assignments.
Everhour Timesheets support submitted, approved, rejected, and partially approved time. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members, which keeps Linear issue hours stable before payroll, billing, or reporting uses the final week.
Use Everhour Resource Planning to review capacity, availability, time off, and planned-vs-actual time, then carry approved Linear timesheets into reports, exports, payroll review, and cost control.
