Teams need one weekly record for several people working across Linear issues, projects, and cycles. The job is to collect task time, compare it with expected work, review missing or unusual entries, and approve the week before payroll, billing, budget review, or cost reporting uses the numbers.
Linear keeps issue context such as team, project, cycle, status, assignee, priority, estimate, labels, and title. Everhour attaches time to that work context, so the weekly review can show who worked on which Linear issue, which project the time belongs to, and whether the record is ready for approval.
A practical team timesheet needs the member, date, Linear project, Linear issue, hours worked, entry method, and a short note when the entry needs context. Managers should review both project hours and working hours when the team tracks both, because task totals and daily attendance-style totals answer different questions.
A clean week groups entries by person and issue, then moves through submission, approval, rejection, or partial approval. Submitted time should stop changing during review. Approved time should stay locked for regular members, while admin corrections should leave enough activity history to explain who changed the record and why.
Linear estimates use effort or size scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt. Those values support issue planning and flow analysis, but they are not clock-time records. A developer can complete a 5-point issue in 3 hours or spend 9 hours on another 5-point issue after review, research, or rework.
Team timesheets become unreliable when managers treat estimates as worked time. Keep estimate points for planning and velocity discussion, then require actual hour entries for payroll review, client cost reporting, budget tracking, and capacity analysis. The useful comparison is planned effort beside logged hours, not a forced conversion rate.
A one-off timesheet tool is enough when you need to collect a small week's hours, review visible gaps, and export a record for one payroll or project-cost cycle. It works best when the team is small, corrections are rare, and the person reviewing time can spot missing Linear issue context manually.
A managed workflow matters when hours feed budgets, rates, approvals, locked periods, and exports every week. Everhour connects Linear issue time to project budgets in hours or money, recurring budget periods, threshold email alerts, budget protection, and billing methods, so approved hours become a reviewed operating record.

A weekly timesheet should show each contributor, work date, Linear project, Linear issue, hours worked, and any note needed to explain the entry. The reviewer also needs submission status, approval status, and correction history. Issue estimates can sit beside logged hours for context, but they should not replace actual time entries.
Estimate points should stay separate from team timesheet hours. Linear estimate values represent effort or size for issue planning, and the documented scales include Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, and T-Shirt. Payroll review, billing review, and cost reporting need hours actually worked by person, date, project, and issue.
A manager should approve the week after contributors submit their time and before the records move into payroll, billing, or cost reports. The review should catch missing days, unusual daily totals, entries without issue context, and corrections requested by the employee. Approval should lock the period for regular members.
Late edits need review when they change hours or dates after submission, add missing issue context, or correct duplicate entries. Submitted time should stay locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time should remain locked for regular members. Admin corrections should keep activity history available for review.
Managers should review by person first when the goal is payroll readiness, attendance-style working hours, or missing submissions. They should review by issue or project first when the goal is project cost, client billing, or budget burn. A reliable workflow supports both views from the same approved entries.
Everhour Project Budgeting lets teams set project budgets in hours or money, use recurring budget periods, send threshold email alerts, and apply budget protection that stops timers or prevents extra logging after a cap. Those controls turn Linear issue hours into budget signals before the week closes.
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 member edits, while reminders, color cues, and activity history help managers catch missing hours and later changes.
Track Linear issue time through Everhour, review weekly submissions, lock approved periods, and connect budget controls to the records that support payroll, billing, and project cost reporting.
