A Basecamp time tracking integration is for teams that plan work in Basecamp and need hours tied to the same projects and to-dos. The practical goal is simple: start a timer from the task, add manual time when needed, and keep the tracked entry connected to the work item instead of retyping it into a separate sheet later.
For U.S. employers, task-level time still has to support the required record. The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for non-exempt workers, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. Basecamp can organize the work; the time layer must preserve daily and weekly totals clearly enough for payroll, billing, and review.
In Everhour's Basecamp setup, Basecamp remains the source for project and to-do structure. Basecamp-created projects and to-dos sync into Everhour, and renamed projects or to-dos update through that connection. Connected projects are managed from Basecamp, so you do not delete, rename, change tasks, or change access rights for those Basecamp projects from Everhour.
That workflow matters when a project changes during active work. Everhour can manually resync projects from Integrations or resync tasks from the Projects page when a newly added, renamed, tagged, or moved Basecamp item is needed right away. The clean operating rule is to fix the project or to-do in Basecamp first, then let the time tracking system use that structure for reports.
Everhour's embedded timer in Basecamp requires the Everhour browser extension. Only Basecamp users invited into the Everhour team, connected to Basecamp, and using the extension see tracking controls in Basecamp. Other Basecamp users or clients do not see Everhour controls unless they are added to Everhour, which keeps time tracking visible to the people who need to log or review time.
Basecamp permissions also control tracking eligibility. A user with access to a Basecamp project can track time to its tasks; removing that access prevents future tracking while past time stays in team reports. Everhour admins can still configure clients, billing, budgets, and non-billable tasks for connected Basecamp projects, including hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable budgets with 50%, 80%, or custom alert thresholds.
A lightweight Basecamp timer is enough when you only need a quick record of who worked on one to-do and for how long. It also works for a solo freelancer who exports hours, checks the entries, and prepares a simple invoice from a short project list.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when Basecamp hours feed payroll review, client billing, project budgets, or team utilization. Everhour Reporting turns tracked Basecamp time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, exports, scheduled email delivery, profitability dashboards, and overtime visibility through Team Hours and custom reports. That gives managers a durable record instead of scattered task comments and manual totals.

Yes. With Everhour connected, time is logged against Basecamp projects and to-dos, so the tracked entry keeps the same work context the team already uses. Basecamp stays responsible for project and task names, while Everhour uses that synced structure for timesheets, reporting, billing, budgets, and approvals.
Everhour syncs all Basecamp projects across teams and workspaces once Basecamp is connected. It does not provide granular selection of which Basecamp projects to sync. Teams that need clean reporting should use Basecamp permissions, client assignments, billing settings, and non-billable task rules to control how synced work appears in time reports.
Only invited Everhour users who connect their Basecamp account and install the Everhour browser extension can see tracking controls and time progress in Basecamp. Basecamp users or clients outside the Everhour team do not see those controls unless someone adds them to Everhour.
The tracking method can vary, but the record must be complete and accurate. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, employer records must include daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek. Payroll records must be preserved for at least three years, and basic time and earnings records for at least two years.
The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely because covered non-exempt employees work on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. Federal overtime applies after more than 40 hours worked in a fixed 168-hour workweek, at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate, unless another law, policy, or agreement adds a separate premium.
Everhour Reporting turns Basecamp task time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, and date ranges. Managers can review billable time, labor costs, project totals, invoice status, budget metrics, and integration fields, then export reports as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for payroll, billing, or client review.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted time is locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members, which keeps Basecamp task hours stable before payroll or billing review.
Track approved Basecamp time with Everhour Reporting, then group, filter, export, and schedule the data managers need for billing, payroll review, budgets, and profitability.
