A Romania time card calculation answers a practical payroll question: how many working hours remain after unpaid breaks are subtracted from each shift. For full-time employees in Romania, normal working time is 8 hours per day over 5 days and 40 hours per week. The time card total helps you compare the recorded week with that baseline before payroll, billing, or internal approval.
The same calculation also flags schedule issues that a plain total can hide. Romanian working time may not exceed 48 hours per week including overtime under the general maximum-duration rule. Employees are entitled to at least 12 consecutive hours of rest between two working days, with a shift-work exception of at least 8 hours between shifts.
Romanian law gives employees a lunch break and other breaks when daily working time exceeds 6 hours. For adults, the detailed break duration comes from the applicable collective labour agreement or internal regulation. Breaks are not included in normal daily working time by default, so a time card should subtract them unless the applicable agreement or internal rules include them.
Employees under 18 need a separate check. They are entitled to a meal break of at least 30 minutes when daily working time is longer than 4.5 hours. Their working time is limited to 6 hours per day and 30 hours per week, and overtime and night work are prohibited. A mixed workforce needs worker-category labels before totals move to payroll.
Calculate each day as end time minus start time minus unpaid break time. Then add the paid daily totals and multiply by the hourly rate when you need gross pay. Romania uses 24-hour time formatting such as HH:mm, and short dates appear in day-month-year numeric order such as dd.MM.y, so a clear time card should avoid AM and PM labels.
For example, an employee records Monday through Thursday from 08:00 to 17:00 with a 1-hour unpaid break each day, then Friday from 08:00 to 14:30 with a 30-minute unpaid break. Each long day counts as 8 paid hours, Friday counts as 6 paid hours, and the week totals 38 paid hours. At 42 RON per hour, gross pay is 1,596 RON.
A one-off calculation is enough when you need to total one person's week, confirm break subtraction, or check whether the weekly hours stay within a visible limit. It also works for a quick contractor invoice when every entry already has a start time, end time, break value, and rate.
A managed workflow fits better when time comes from several tools, approvals matter, or payroll needs a durable record. Everhour embeds tracking controls in supported project tools, syncs project and task metadata, and keeps timesheets and budgets visible inside those workflows, so approved time does not need repeated manual entry.

Paid working time comes from the shift span after subtracting unpaid breaks. Romanian breaks are excluded from normal daily working time by default, so the time card should remove the lunch break unless the applicable collective labour agreement or internal regulation says the break counts as working time.
Subtract the unpaid lunch break from the time between clock-in and clock-out. A shift from 08:00 to 17:00 with a 1-hour unpaid break equals 8 paid hours. If the worker is an adult and daily working time exceeds 6 hours, Romanian law triggers a break entitlement, with details set by the applicable agreement or internal regulation.
Yes. For full-time employees in Romania, normal working time is 8 hours per day over 5 days and 40 hours per week. Romanian working time may not exceed 48 hours per week including overtime under the general maximum-duration rule, so weekly totals above 40 and near 48 deserve review before payroll.
Employees under 18 require separate handling because Romanian law sets a meal break of at least 30 minutes after more than 4.5 daily hours. Their working time is limited to 6 hours per day and 30 hours per week, and overtime and night work are prohibited.
Romanian locale data uses 24-hour time such as HH:mm and short dates in day-month-year numeric order, shown as dd.MM.y. A 24-hour time card reduces conversion errors, especially for shifts that start in the afternoon, cross midnight, or feed payroll files from multiple systems.
Everhour integrates with tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and others, then embeds tracking controls in supported workflows. Project and task metadata sync into Everhour, so tracked time stays tied to the same work structure used by the team.
Everhour reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into customizable reports with filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports. Saved reports can be downloaded in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for payroll checks, spreadsheet review, or archive records.
Track approved hours where work already happens. Everhour embeds time tracking in supported tools and connects entries to project context, budgets, timesheets, and billing records.
