Frequently Asked Questions
What is overtime pay?
Overtime pay is additional compensation for working more than a standard number of hours in a workweek (typically 40 hours). It is usually paid at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate.
How do I enter times like 9:00 AM or 5:30 PM?
You can enter times in either 12-hour format (e.g., 9:00 AM, 5:30 PM) or 24-hour format (e.g., 9:00, 17:30). The calculator will parse them correctly.
What if I work overnight?
For overnight shifts, enter the start time on one day and the end time on the next day. For example, if you start at 10:00 PM on Monday and end at 6:00 AM on Tuesday, enter 10:00 PM for Monday's start and 6:00 AM for Monday's end. The calculator will handle the cross-day calculation.
Does this calculator handle unpaid breaks?
Yes, you can enter the duration of your unpaid breaks in minutes, and these will be deducted from your total daily work hours.
Can I use this for multiple employees?
This calculator is designed for one employee's weekly time card. For multiple employees, you would need to use it separately for each individual.
