How Time Card Calculations Work
Time card calculations are based on standard work hours and overtime rules. Here's how the formula works:
Total Hours = (End Time - Start Time) × Number of Days
Overtime is calculated when hours exceed the standard workday (typically 8 hours).
For payroll purposes, regular hours are paid at the standard rate, while overtime is paid at 1.5 times the standard rate.
Note: The calculator assumes a standard 8-hour workday. Adjust the overtime threshold if your workplace uses different rules.
Worked Examples
Let's look at a practical example:
| Date | Start Time | End Time | Hours Worked | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 9:00 AM | 5:00 PM | 8.0 | Regular |
| Tuesday | 9:00 AM | 6:30 PM | 9.5 | Overtime |
In this example, the employee worked 8 regular hours on Monday and 9.5 hours on Tuesday, with 1.5 hours of overtime.
