Use this page when you need one weekly view of team time across Linear issues, not scattered notes after the fact. The useful record shows who worked, which issue carried the time, the date of each entry, the total project hours, and the weekly working-hours total for each person. That gives a manager enough context to review missing entries, unusual daily totals, and work that landed on the wrong issue.
For UK teams, the practical goal is consistency across contributors. A developer logs time against assigned Linear issues, the manager reviews the week, and approved time becomes the operating record for payroll support or cost reporting. Keep issue names, projects, status, assignees, and tags aligned with the work structure your team already uses, then review hours by person before the period closes.
A good weekly timesheet starts with the work item. Each entry needs a Linear issue, a date, a person, and the amount of time actually spent. Comments help when the entry covers investigation, review, rework, support, or a split between related issues. Managers should review totals at both levels: issue time explains project cost, while working-hours totals explain each person's week.
Estimates on Linear issues are planning inputs, not a substitute for clock time. Linear estimate scales use effort or size values such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt. A weekly timesheet should keep those estimates separate from tracked hours, because payroll support, client billing, and labor cost reporting need time actually worked, not effort points.
The approval step is the control point. Team members submit the week, and the reviewer checks missing days, duplicate entries, inflated blocks, time on closed or unrelated issues, and entries added long after the work happened. The reviewer should reject or partially approve the week when corrections are needed, then approve only the entries that belong in the final record.
Locking matters because late edits change downstream numbers. After approval, regular members should no longer alter the submitted period. Admin corrections still have a place when a manager needs to fix a clear mistake, but the change should preserve a trail. That protects payroll support, billing review, and cost reports from silent changes after managers have already signed off.
A one-off timesheet works when a small team needs to collect one clean week, check totals, and export the result for review. It is enough for a short project, a temporary audit, or a manager who needs a quick operating snapshot. The weak point appears when the same review repeats every week and corrections, approvals, and exports start consuming manager time.
A managed workflow turns collected hours into a reviewed record. Everhour Team Management supports approval workflow, lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide policy defaults. That structure gives managers a cleaner handoff from Linear issue work to approved weekly records for payroll support, cost reporting, or billing review.

Record the time on the issue that received the work, then add a short comment when the split needs context. One large block placed on a parent project hides the actual issue cost and makes review harder. Separate entries give the manager a clearer weekly record without turning the timesheet into a narrative log.
No. Estimates on Linear issues are effort or size values, using scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt. A timesheet needs hours actually worked. Copying estimate points into time records creates bad payroll support, weak billing review, and unreliable cost reporting because planned effort and logged time answer different questions.
Managers should review entries with missing issue links, unusually large daily totals, vague comments, late additions, time on the wrong project, and repeated manual blocks. Entries that affect payroll support, billing, overtime review, or project cost reporting deserve special attention because one bad entry can carry into several downstream reports.
Approved time should be locked so the reviewed week stays stable after the manager signs off. Late edits can change payroll support files, client billing backups, and project cost reports after those numbers have already moved forward. Admin corrections still work for clear mistakes, but they should be visible as controlled changes.
Yes, if the team records both working-hours totals and project issue time consistently. Working-hours totals support payroll review context, while issue-level project time supports cost reporting and billing review. The same record fails when entries are incomplete, estimates replace hours, or approvals happen before the manager checks exceptions.
Everhour Team Management lets managers use approval workflow, lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide policy defaults. That gives a reviewer a controlled process for submitted Linear time before payroll support, billing review, or cost reporting uses the record.
Everhour syncs Linear workspace, project, issue, status, and tag data into reports, then lets managers review tracked time by the same work structure. Reports can be exported for spreadsheet review, client backup, or an internal archive when approved weekly records need to move outside the system.
Use Everhour Team Management to review submitted Linear time, lock approved periods, correct mistakes with admin controls, and keep weekly records ready for payroll support or cost reporting.
