Formula
Worked = (end − start) − break. If end < start, add 24 hours (overnight shift).
Example
09:00 → 17:30 with a 30-min break = 8h 00m (8.00 hours).
Common examples
9:00 → 17:30
8h 30m = 8.5 hours.
Two shifts 4h + 5h 15m
Total 9h 15m.
Decimal hours 7.75

Frequently asked
Does it handle shifts that cross midnight?

What if the break is longer than the shift?
Net worked is clamped to zero.
Can I see decimal hours for payroll?
