Team timesheets for Linear work

Collect team time from Linear

A team timesheet turns daily work on Linear issues into a weekly record by person, project, and date. The practical goal is simple: collect the hours people actually worked, connect each entry to the issue context, and give a manager enough detail to review the week before payroll, client billing, or cost reporting uses the numbers.

Linear supplies the operating context for the work: issues, projects, assignees, status, cycles, labels, priority, and estimates on Linear issues. The time record needs a different shape. Each contributor needs a weekly view that shows submitted hours, missing days, unusual totals, and corrections before the manager closes the period for review.

Structure the weekly timesheet

A useful weekly grid starts with the person and the dates being reviewed, then lists the Linear project and issue behind each entry. Add tracked project hours, working hours if your policy tracks attendance separately, and comments for entries that need context. The reviewer should see the week as a complete record, without chasing issue links or chat messages.

Submitted time should cover the week before approval, not only the final day with memory-based totals. Daily entries make gaps obvious, especially for part-time schedules, time off, and split work across several Linear issues. Estimates on Linear issues are effort or size values for planning. Tracked hours show time actually spent and should remain separate.

Approve before records lock

Approval gives team time a review checkpoint. A manager should compare each person's submitted week against assigned issue work, expected working days, time off, and comments on unusual entries. Rejections should name the entry that needs correction. Partial approval fits a week where most entries are correct and one day needs a change.

Locked periods protect the reviewed record. Regular members should stop editing submitted or approved time once the review point passes, while an admin correction can handle a late fix with the change history preserved. Late edits create the biggest risk when payroll, billing, and cost reports already use the closed week.

Move from hours to records

A one-time sheet is enough for a small cleanup, a single billing question, or a manager checking one project after the fact. It breaks down once multiple contributors submit time every week, approval responsibility is split, or accounting needs a repeatable export. The operating record needs submission status, locks, correction history, and the same project and issue structure every week.

Everhour moves Linear issue time into a reviewed workflow through weekly timesheets, submissions, approvals, rejections, partial approvals, and locked approved periods. Admins can correct team entries when needed, then teams can use the approved record for payroll review, billing review, or cost reporting without rebuilding the week from scattered issue updates or messages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should team time be grouped around Linear issues?

Group the week by person, date, Linear project, and issue. That structure lets a reviewer compare submitted hours with the actual work queue, assigned ownership, status, and cycle context. Comments belong on entries with unusual totals, late additions, or work that spans several issues, because those entries need explanation before approval.

Which checks belong before weekly approval?

Review daily totals, missing weekdays, time off, manual entries added late, and entries without clear issue context. Compare submitted hours with expected capacity or policy hours if your team tracks working hours separately. Approval should happen after corrections, because the approved week becomes the record used for payroll, billing, or cost reporting.

Should estimates on Linear issues become payroll hours?

No. Treat estimates on Linear issues as planning inputs, because estimate values describe effort or size. Payroll and cost reporting need hours actually worked, tied to a person and date. Keep estimated effort beside the issue for planning, then record time separately so the weekly timesheet shows clock time.

How should late corrections be documented?

Document the changed entry, the person affected, the original date, the corrected amount of time, and the reason for the change. An admin should make the correction after approval through a controlled edit that preserves history. The trail matters because downstream payroll, billing, and cost reports may already include the approved period.

Which time entries need extra review?

Focus on entries added after the workday, unusually long days, blank comments on complex work, duplicated issue entries, and time recorded outside the expected week. Time off also needs review if your team includes it in gross timesheet totals, because paid time not worked changes payroll context and capacity analysis.

How does Everhour Timesheets handle Linear team approvals?

Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person for review. Team members submit time, then managers approve, reject, or partially approve the week, with submitted and approved time protected from regular edits so payroll and billing review use a controlled record.

How does Everhour report approved Linear time?

Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into configurable reports with columns, grouping, filters, and date ranges. Managers can download reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF format, and team timesheets or owner-level team time logs can be exported for records.
