Shifts that cross midnight

HoursPad counts a night shift on the day it started, so a Saturday night shift that ends Sunday morning is a Saturday shift. This is how the card adds days up. Your employer's payroll may group hours differently. See also the night shift hours calculator.

Questions

How do I add up a 12-hour shift?

Type the start and end times and your unpaid break. A 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM shift with a 30-minute break is 12 h (12.00 hours).

How do I enter a night shift that ends the next morning?

Type the start time with PM and the end time with AM, like 7:00 PM and 7:30 AM. HoursPad counts through midnight and puts the shift on the day it started. With a 30-minute break that is 12 h (12.00 hours).

Can I add up a whole pay period of shifts?

Yes. Open Settings and set Time card covers to Two weeks, or use the ‹ and › arrows to move between weeks. Your entries are saved on this device.

What does the clock-out hint mean?

When you type an In time and leave Out empty, the card shows the time that would give 12 hours worked, after any break you typed.
