Methods Of Calculating Hours Worked

Manually calculating the difference between two times can be difficult. A simple example is when an employee starts work at 8:00 am and clocks out at 5:00 pm, the answer is 9 hours. This is easy to calculate because there are no minutes involved. Now we add minutes and things get trickier, if an employee starts work at 8:22 am then punches out at 4:55 pm, how is the calculated? Most people look at this and will try to add or subtract minutes and hours, however the math is not that simple. If you’re interested in learning how to manually calculate hours worked check out this article.

Using a time card calculator speeds things up and helps reduce errors. With a calculator, the employer will hand key in clock in and clock out times for each day in the pay period. If there is a lunch or break during the day, these times will also be entered. The worked hours will automatically be figured and a total hours for the pay period will be generated. While calculation errors are eliminated, there is still the possibly of human error while entering clock in/out times – up to 2%
