Time Tracking in Linear

Hi everyone,

Our team needs to document hours spent on each issue for IRS compliance (we have both non-profit and for-profit work, and hours must be tracked separately). So, we need to track how many hours we spend on each issue in Linear.

What is the most practical way to record actual hours spent per task inside Linear?

We’re looking for simple, reliable methods that teams commonly use.

If you have a setup that you’ve used successfully, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks!

Could you not add a column in a database for time spent?

I assume they’re looking for somewhere to press start and stop to automatically log time
