Enter an overnight shift
A later date is part of an overnight shift’s input.
Enter both dates
- Set the start date and time.
- Choose the actual end date and time, even if the clock reading is earlier.
- Give every break its own actual dates and times.
- Check the net duration and the start-date reporting group.
Correct an earlier same-day end
October 21 at 22:00 through October 21 at 06:00 is invalid because the end is before the start. If the shift ended the next morning, choose October 22 explicitly. The tool should preserve your times and offer a correction; it must not silently assume the later date.
Check the break date
For October 21 at 22:00 through October 22 at 06:00, a 00:00–00:30 unpaid break belongs to October 22. Its 30 minutes are deducted from the eight-hour span, giving 07:30. A break entered on October 21 at midnight is outside this shift and requires correction.
Understand the reporting group
The entire completed net shift is assigned to its start date. This applies across weekly and monthly boundaries too. The actual end date stays visible; there is no implicit midnight split and no second contribution in the following period.
Twenty-four hours and clock changes
Today at 08:00 to tomorrow at 08:00 is an explicit 24-hour wall-clock span. Equal times on the same date are not automatically interpreted as a full day. All these calculations use entered clock readings without timezone or daylight-saving inference. If actual elapsed time across an offset change is needed, this input model does not establish it.
