Managers, operations leads, and finance teams need a reviewed record of time spent on Linear issues. The practical job is not estimating effort. It is collecting weekly project hours and working hours by person, tying them back to the right issues, and preparing the record for payroll review, billing checks, or cost reporting.
Linear issues sit inside teams and can carry assignees, priority, estimates, cycles, labels, and projects. Those fields help organize the work, but timesheet compliance needs clock-time records. A reviewed weekly grid should show who worked, where the time belongs, whether entries were submitted on schedule, and whether approved time stayed locked for regular members while admin corrections remained traceable.
Linear estimates are effort or size values, not clock time. Teams can use Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt estimate scales, and Linear uses estimate values for completion and effort statistics. A point value helps forecast scope, but it does not prove that a person worked 6 hours on a specific issue.
A compliant team record needs actual time entries, not inferred hours from estimate points. Treat estimates as planning context and tracked hours as the source for payroll review, client cost analysis, and operational reporting. The common mistake is converting points into pay or cost records without a reviewed time entry behind them.
A trustworthy weekly timesheet shows project hours and working hours by person, with entries grouped around the Linear issues and projects where work happened. Each contributor should submit the week for review, and the manager should approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time before the record moves into payroll, billing, or reporting.
The review should catch missing days, unusual daily totals, entries placed on the wrong issue, and manual corrections made after the work date. Comments matter when an entry needs context, such as split work across two issues or a correction to a prior entry. Approved time should stay locked for regular members so they do not change the reviewed record after approval.
A free one-off timesheet is enough when you need a single weekly export for a small group and no one changes records after review. It breaks down when managers need approvals, locked periods for regular members, admin correction history, grouped reports, and repeat exports that match the same structure every pay period or reporting cycle.
Everhour adds the managed layer on top of Linear work. Team time can be submitted, approved, rejected, partially approved, locked after approval for regular members, corrected by admins, and exported from reports or team timesheets. That turns collected hours into a reviewed operating record instead of a loose spreadsheet that changes without a trail after the handoff.

A Linear timesheet record should include the person, date, project or issue context, hours worked, entry method, comments when needed, submission status, approval status, and any later correction. Estimates, labels, cycles, and status fields help explain the work context, but they do not replace the actual time entry.
Estimate points should not stand in for timesheet hours. Linear estimate values represent effort or size, and Linear's documentation does not define a native conversion from points to hours or cost. Payroll review, billing checks, and cost reporting need actual tracked time tied to the person and work item.
Approved timesheets should be locked for regular members because payroll, billing, and cost reports rely on a stable record. Late member edits after approval can change totals that accounting or managers already used. A controlled process still lets admins correct records when necessary while keeping ordinary edits out of closed periods.
Corrections need manager review when they change submitted or approved time, move hours between issues or projects, affect billable status, or change a workday total. Small typo fixes in comments carry less risk, but any correction that changes hours should leave a clear trail before the next payroll or cost export.
Weekly approval keeps the record close to the work while details are still fresh. A weekly cycle also matches common team reporting rhythms and makes missing entries visible before they roll into a payroll or client-cost period. Longer review cycles increase the chance of vague comments, forgotten issue context, and late edits.
Everhour Reporting turns Linear-linked time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, exports, scheduled email delivery, and overtime visibility through Team Hours and custom reports. Managers can review time by person, project, task, status, or other synced metadata before sending records onward.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours for review, then managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members so the reviewed record remains stable.
Turn Linear issue work into approved timesheets, regular-member locks, correction trails, and scheduled reporting. Everhour gives teams a repeatable record for payroll review and cost control.
