Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate total hours worked?
Subtract clock-in from clock-out time, then subtract unpaid breaks. For 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM with 30 min lunch: 8.5 hours total - 0.5 hour break = 8 hours worked.
When does overtime start?
Federal law (FLSA) requires overtime pay (1.5x) after 40 hours per week. Some states require daily overtime after 8 hours. California requires double time after 12 hours/day. Check your local laws.
How do I convert time to decimal for payroll?
Divide minutes by 60. Common conversions: 15 min = 0.25, 30 min = 0.50, 45 min = 0.75. For 8 hours 45 minutes: 8 + (45/60) = 8.75 decimal hours for pay calculation.
Should break time be included in hours worked?
Short breaks (5-20 min) are typically paid time. Meal breaks (30+ min) are usually unpaid if you're completely relieved of duties. Company policy and local laws vary - verify with HR.
