Use this page when you need a weekly record of team hours on Linear work, not just a personal log. The manager's job is to see who worked on each issue, which project or cycle the time belongs to, whether entries are complete, and which records are ready for approval. The result should support payroll review, client cost reporting, or internal capacity decisions without forcing every contributor into a separate end-of-week explanation.
Linear should carry the work context: issue title, status, assignee, team, project, cycle, labels, priority, and estimate when the team uses one. The team time record should carry clock time by person and date, plus the entry method and any comment needed to explain a correction or unusual daily total. Keep those jobs separate. Estimate points describe size and progress context; approved hours describe time actually worked.
A usable team timesheet needs more than a total. The weekly grid should connect each row to a Linear issue, project or cycle context, contributor, work date, hours, billable status if the team reports billable work, and a clear note for exceptions. A manager reviewing Friday afternoon should be able to trace the hours from one contributor to the exact issue set reviewed that week.
Submission and approval turn entries into an operating record. Team members submit the week after they finish logging time. The reviewer checks missing days, unusually high totals, entries placed on the wrong issue, and manual additions after the fact. Approved periods should lock for regular members so payroll, billing, and cost reports do not change after review.
Linear estimate scales are useful for sizing work: Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt values. Those values belong beside the issue as planning context. They should not become payroll hours, billable hours, or labor cost inputs. Linear uses estimate values for effort and completion statistics, and an unestimated issue defaults to 1 estimate point unless that setting is changed.
The clean review rule is simple: estimate points explain planned effort, and approved time entries explain hours actually worked. Keep both fields visible during review, because the gap between size and time can reveal work that needs scoping changes, clearer issue splits, or a different staffing plan. For payroll or cost reporting, the approved hour entry remains the record to export.
A quick weekly sheet is enough when one manager reviews a short project, the team has few contributors, and no downstream payroll or client handoff depends on late corrections. That setup fails once approved hours need locks, rejection notes, partial approvals, capacity comparisons, or exports by person, project, and date. The process needs a source of review truth.
Everhour turns Linear issue time into that managed workflow: contributors track or enter time from Linear issue controls, then submit weekly project hours or working hours. Managers approve, reject, or partially approve, and submitted or approved time stays protected from regular edits. Admin corrections, reminders, activity history, and exports give HR, accounting, and project leads a reviewed record for payroll, cost reporting, and project follow-up.

Start with completeness by person and date, then inspect issue context: project, cycle, status, assignee, and comments for late or unusual entries. Compare project hours with working hours if both are collected. Approve only entries that match the week's work record, and send corrections back before locking the period.
Keep the issue title, project, team, cycle when used, assignee, status, labels, priority, and estimate beside each time entry. The hours record also needs contributor, date, duration, entry method, and a note when the entry was corrected or added late. Those fields let a reviewer connect clock time to the work context.
No. Linear estimates are effort or size values, using scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt. They support planning and completion statistics. Team hours need clock time by person and date, because payroll review, billing review, and cost reporting require hours actually worked.
A trustworthy weekly record has complete days, issue-level context, visible manual entries, comments for corrections, reviewer approval, and a locked period after approval. The reviewer also needs a trail for rejected or partially approved time, because late edits change payroll totals and project cost reports after decisions have been made.
Treat late changes as documented corrections. The admin or reviewer should document the reason, adjust the affected entry, and keep the change visible in the activity history. Reopen the payroll or cost export only when the correction changes totals already sent downstream.
Everhour Resource Planning gives managers visual timelines with member and project views, weekly capacity, availability gaps, and scheduled time off. After Linear issue hours are tracked and approved, managers compare planned capacity with actual tracked time before assigning the next cycle of work.
Everhour Timesheets lets team members submit weekly project hours or working hours, then managers approve, reject, or partially approve the submitted time. Submitted and approved time is locked for regular members, and admins can make corrections with context when payroll or billing review requires a change.
Use Everhour Resource Planning to compare planned capacity with tracked time, account for scheduled time off, and keep Linear project staffing grounded in approved team hours.
