Worked time-card examples

See how dates, breaks and formats affect a time card. Each example uses sample records you can check.

A split shift, checked from start to finish

Check a day with two separate work sessions and an excluded gap.

An overnight shift with a midnight break

Review a dated 22:00–06:00 shift with a 30-minute unpaid break after midnight.

Three breaks in one shift

Check three unpaid breaks inside an eight-hour shift and see why interval boundaries matter.

A shift that crosses the end of a month

See why an overnight shift starting October 31 stays in the October report even when it ends November 1.

A time card that includes February 29

Check February 29 in a real leap year and preserve a shift that ends in the following month.

Noon and midnight in 12-hour time

Distinguish noon from midnight in 12-hour time and check their 24-hour equivalents.

Keep an unfinished shift as a draft

Save a shift with a missing end time as a draft without inventing hours or presenting a subtotal as final.

Add clock-style and decimal durations

Add 07:30 and 7.30 decimal hours correctly by converting each labeled input to minutes first.

A night shift across a weekly boundary

Compare Sunday- and Monday-start weeks for one complete overnight shift without splitting it at midnight.

Paid and unpaid breaks in the same shift

Check an eight-hour span with a paid 15-minute break and unpaid 30-minute lunch, giving 7 hours 30 minutes.

Find a finish time with a planned break

Work out a 17:00 finish from a 40-hour target, 32:30 already completed, a 09:00 start and 30-minute unpaid break.

Review a time card after a CSV round trip

Review two CSV shift records, a comma-containing note and a 12-hour total before and after import.

Choose the question you want to check

The examples use small synthetic records so that each step can be followed without an account or someone else’s personal data. Open the case closest to your problem, compare its inputs with your own, then use the related tool for your actual values.

Different cases teach different checks

Shifts and breaks: separate sessions, overnight dates, multiple intervals and paid versus unpaid time.
Dates and periods: month-end shifts, leap days, noon and midnight, and a chosen week start.
Formats and files: decimal notation, unfinished records, target finish times and CSV row preservation.

How to use an example

Check the dates and the input format before comparing totals. A worked example is not a recommended schedule, a payroll rule or a claim about a typical working week. When a case uses a reporting convention, it names that convention so you can understand why the record appears in a particular period.
