A clock total answers a narrow payroll question: how many paid hours came from the recorded start time, end time, and breaks. The first result is the gross span, such as 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The second result is paid time after subtracting unpaid meal periods and keeping compensable short breaks in the total.
For U.S. covered nonexempt employees, the weekly total matters because federal overtime starts after 40 hours worked in a fixed FLSA workweek. That workweek is 168 fixed hours, seven consecutive 24-hour periods, and hours cannot be averaged across multiple workweeks to avoid overtime.
Start with the end time minus the start time. Subtract unpaid meal time only when the meal period is bona fide, generally 30 minutes or more, and the employee is completely relieved of duty. Short employer-provided breaks, usually about 5 to 20 minutes, remain paid hours worked under federal law and count toward weekly overtime.
For example, a covered nonexempt office clerk earns $25 per hour and records paid daily totals of 8, 8, 9, 8, 10, and 6 hours in one fixed workweek. The weekly total is 49 hours. Regular pay is 40 hours at $25, or $1,000.00. Overtime is 9 hours at $37.50, or $337.50. Total gross pay is $1,337.50.
Minute conversion creates frequent errors because payroll decimals use base 10 while clock minutes use base 60. Thirty minutes equals 0.50 hour, not 0.30 hour. A shift from 8:10 AM to 4:40 PM is 8 hours 30 minutes, which converts to 8.50 hours before any unpaid meal deduction.
Crossing midnight needs the same span logic with the date included. A shift from 10:00 PM on Monday to 6:00 AM on Tuesday is 8 hours, not a negative number. Federal time-clock rounding can use the nearest 5 minutes, tenth, or quarter-hour only when the practice averages out over time and does not underpay employees for actual hours worked.
A one-off calculation is enough for checking a single shift, fixing one punch, or estimating pay before payroll closes. It gives a clean answer when you already trust the start time, end time, break status, hourly rate, and workweek boundary.
A managed workflow matters when many people clock in daily, submit corrections, work across projects, or need approvals before payroll and billing. Everhour can embed tracking controls inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and others, so tracked time keeps its task context before timesheets, budgets, and reports use it.

Subtract the start time from the end time, then subtract only unpaid break time. Convert remaining minutes to decimal hours by dividing minutes by 60. A 9-hour span with a 30-minute unpaid meal becomes 8.50 paid hours. Keep the date attached for overnight shifts so the end time lands on the next calendar day.
Short employer-provided breaks usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes are compensable hours worked under federal law. They stay in the paid total and count toward weekly overtime for covered nonexempt employees. Federal law does not require adult meal or rest breaks, but state law or employer policy can create separate break requirements.
Unpaid lunch can be removed only when the break qualifies as unpaid time. A bona fide meal period is generally at least 30 minutes, and the employee must be completely relieved from duty. An employee who answers calls, watches equipment, helps customers, or performs duties while eating is still working for federal hours-worked purposes.
Payroll hours can differ when a manager corrects a missing punch, applies neutral rounding, removes a qualifying unpaid meal, adds permitted pre-shift or post-shift work, or separates workweeks. Hours worked include required duty time and additional work the employer allows or permits, including unscheduled work before or after a shift.
Everhour integrates with major project management and accounting tools, embeds tracking controls in supported workflows, and syncs project and task metadata into one time layer. Teams can track time inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and others without losing task context.
Everhour timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours for review. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and approved time stays locked for regular members before reports, billing, or payroll review use the totals.
Track time inside existing work tools, review submitted hours, and keep approved records ready for payroll or billing. Everhour connects clocked work to task context and cleaner timesheet approval.
