Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the daily total?
Subtract the start time from the end time, then subtract any unpaid break. For example, 9:00 to 17:30 with a 30-minute break is 8 hours. In a spreadsheet, format the cells as time and the totals will compute automatically.
Should I log breaks on the timesheet?
Yes. Recording unpaid breaks keeps paid hours accurate and protects you in wage disputes. Paid breaks can stay inside the working window; only deduct breaks that are genuinely unpaid.
How are overtime hours handled?
Sum the week first, then move any hours above your standard threshold into the overtime row so they can be paid at the correct rate. Check your local rules, since some regions calculate overtime daily rather than weekly.
