Frequently asked questions

How are unpaid breaks handled?

Break minutes are subtracted from the shift length. Enter zero when there is no unpaid break.

Decimal hours help when payroll or invoices expect 7.5 instead of 7 hours 30 minutes.

Does this encode overtime rules?

No. It measures worked time only. Apply overtime multipliers with a separate pay calculator.
