Enter a shift's start and end times and its paid and unpaid break minutes to get total time at the workplace and net paid working hours.
Total time at the workplace is the span from start to end; when the end time is earlier than the start time, the shift is treated as running overnight into the next day. Unpaid breaks, typically a meal break, are deducted from that span to give net paid working time. Paid breaks are not deducted, because the time is still paid — the paid-break figure is shown for the record and included in the paid total. Results appear both as hours and minutes and as a decimal for timesheets.
How are overnight shifts handled? If the end time is earlier than the start time, the calculator adds 24 hours, treating the shift as ending the next day — the standard pattern for night shifts.
Do paid breaks reduce paid hours? No. Paid rest breaks count as paid time, so only unpaid breaks are deducted from the shift span to get net paid working hours.
Why show decimal hours as well? Timesheets and payroll systems usually record hours as decimals — 7.5 rather than 7 hours 30 minutes — so both formats are given.
