Formula Used

Total Work Hours = (End Time - Start Time) - Lunch Break

  • Lunch Break = Duration of your lunch break in hours

This formula ensures you account for your break time when calculating total work hours.

Worked Example

Let's calculate work hours for an employee who:

  • Started work at 8:00 AM
  • Finished work at 5:00 PM
  • Took a 1-hour lunch break

Total Work Hours = (5:00 PM - 8:00 AM) - 1 hour

= 9 hours - 1 hour

= 8 hours

This employee worked a total of 8 hours after accounting for their lunch break.
