If you need a bespoke version
You can keep using this free tool as it is. If you need a bespoke version with your own rules, data or workflows for a website, shop or internal process, I can build it for you – for example with custom rules and data sources, approvals and exports, and website or shop integration.
Working time as clock time and decimal value
Timesheets often need two representations: familiar hours and minutes and a decimal value for payroll or spreadsheets. 7 hours and 30 minutes becomes 7.50 hours, not 7.30.
Break and target balance
The break is deducted from the time present. The target balance then shows whether the entered net time is above or below your target. The calculator stores no working times and does not replace an employer time-tracking system.
Shifts across midnight
If the end time is earlier than the start time, the calculator automatically assigns it to the next day. This correctly handles a shift from 22:00 to 06:00 as well.
