Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate hours worked?
Subtract clock-in time from clock-out time, then subtract any unpaid break time. For overnight shifts, add 24 hours if end time is before start time.
What is overtime pay?
Overtime pay is additional compensation for hours worked beyond regular hours. In the US, it's typically 1.5x regular rate for hours over 40/week or 8/day.
Should breaks be paid?
Short breaks (5-20 min) are typically paid. Meal breaks (30+ min) are usually unpaid if you're completely relieved of duties. Laws vary by location.
How is overtime calculated?
Overtime = (Hours over threshold) × (Hourly rate) × (Overtime multiplier). For example, 2 hours overtime at $20/hr with 1.5x rate = 2 × $20 × 1.5 = $60.
Can I use this for weekly calculations?
This calculator is for daily shifts. For weekly calculations, add up daily hours first, then apply overtime rules based on your local labor laws (typically 40 hours/week).
