Everything is calculated in your browser: no data is sent anywhere. Indicative result: the applicable collective agreement and your payroll consultant have the final word.
How the calculation works
- 1 Hours per day = end − start − break. Shifts that end after midnight are handled correctly.
- 2 The week total is the sum of the days, shown in hours and minutes and in decimal hours (handy for spreadsheets and payroll).
- 3 The difference from contract hours is indicative: whether and how overtime is paid depends on the collective agreement and company agreements.
