How it's calculated
Turn each clock time into minutes since midnight, hours times sixty plus minutes. End minus start, less the unpaid break, is the minutes worked; divide by sixty for decimal hours, which is how payroll systems want them. A shift that ends after midnight adds a day, 1,440 minutes, to the end time first. Multiply by shifts per week for weekly hours and by the rate for pay.
How do I convert minutes to decimal hours for a timesheet?
Divide the minutes by 60: 15 minutes is 0.25, 20 is 0.33, 30 is 0.5, 45 is 0.75. Payroll systems and most employers use decimal hours, so 7 hours 40 minutes is entered as 7.67.
Is my lunch break paid?
In the US, federal law lets employers leave a meal break of 30 minutes or more unpaid if you are fully relieved of duty; short breaks of 5–20 minutes must be paid. States add their own rules. Enter only the unpaid part here.
How do I handle a night shift?
Enter the real clock times and switch "Shift ends" to "Next day": 22:00 to 06:30 with a 30-minute break is 8 hours. Without the switch the end time would be earlier than the start and the result negative.
