How Time Cards and Overtime Are Calculated
Tracking time cards accurately protects both employees and employers. Standard work hours are calculated by taking the elapsed duration between your arrival (clock-in) and departure (clock-out) and deducting mandatory unpaid rest or meal breaks.
Overtime Regulations
For most hourly employees, any time worked exceeding 40 hours during a fixed 7-day workweek is classified as overtime. Overtime hours must be compensated at a minimum of 1.5 times the employee's regular hourly wage rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate total hours worked between two times?
Convert both the clock-in and clock-out times to minutes since midnight, subtract the start minutes from the end minutes, subtract any unpaid break minutes, and divide the resulting net minutes by 60.
How does the calculator handle shifts spanning past midnight?
If the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time (e.g., In: 11:00 PM, Out: 7:00 AM), our tool automatically adds 24 hours (1,440 minutes) to the checkout time to accurately calculate the 8-hour overnight duration.
What is standard overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)?
Under US federal FLSA regulations, non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time-and-one-half (1.5x) their regular rate of pay.
