Frequently asked
Is my lunch usually unpaid?
In the US, breaks under 20 minutes are typically paid; meal breaks of 30+ minutes are usually unpaid. Check your employer's policy.
Does it handle overnight shifts?
Yes — when end is earlier than start we add 24 hours automatically.
Decimal vs h:mm?
Payroll often uses decimal hours: 7.5 = 7h 30m, 7.25 = 7h 15m, 7.75 = 7h 45m.
