Frequently asked questions
How does the overnight option work?
When enabled and the end time is earlier than the start time, the tool assumes the range runs into the next day and adds 24 hours — perfect for night shifts.
What are decimal hours for?
Decimal hours (e.g. 7.5 instead of 7h 30m) are handy for payroll and billing, where time is often multiplied by an hourly rate.
