Breakdown
How it works
Hours = end − start − unpaid break. If the end time is earlier than the start, the shift crosses midnight and 24 hours are added. Overtime is counted above the daily threshold and paid at 1.5× by default (UAE 1.25×; change the rate manually).
Formula
Daily hours = (end − start − break)
Decimal hours = minutes ÷ 60
Weekly pay = (regular × rate + OT × rate × 1.5) × days
Worked example
09:00–17:30 with 30 min break: 8 hours; 5 days = 40 hours; at 25 an hour = 1,000 a week.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert minutes to decimal?
Divide by 60: 15 min = 0.25, 20 = 0.33, 45 = 0.75.
