Questions
Is my time card saved?
Yes, in this browser only. The card is kept in your browser’s local storage so it is still here when you come back. It is never uploaded. Clear card removes the entries; clearing your browser’s site data removes everything. If the browser does not let the page store anything (some private windows, full or blocked storage), the line above the card says Not saved on this device: download the CSV before you close the tab.
Which day does an overnight shift count on?
The day it started. A Saturday 22:00 to Sunday 06:15 shift is entered on Saturday’s row and its hours count toward Saturday, including for a daily overtime limit.
Is this a timesheet calculator too?
For one person’s hours, yes: a time card and a timesheet total the same clock-in, clock-out and break times, and this one adds overtime and estimated pay. It does not track several employees, projects or clients at once; download one CSV per person and week, or per two-week pay period.
Can I use this for payroll?
It is arithmetic from your inputs. Rules for overtime, rounding, paid breaks, holidays and record keeping vary by place and contract. Verify them before paying anyone from these totals.
What does the CSV contain?
Employee, company, week and pay settings, then one line per day (date, clock in, clock out, break minutes, hours in decimal and h:mm, overnight flag), then weekly totals and estimated pay. With punch rounding on, two columns with the rounded clock in and out and a final rounding line are added. It opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
Can it round clock times to 5, 6 or 15 minutes?
Yes, if your employer’s policy does. Choose Round punches in the pay rule. Each clock-in and clock-out is rounded to the nearest step before the hours are counted (with 15 minutes, 9:07 becomes 9:00 and 9:08 becomes 9:15; with 6 minutes, 3 minutes past rounds up). The times you typed stay on the card, and each changed row shows the punches it counted. In the U.S., the Department of Labor accepts such rounding for enforcement only if, over time, employees are paid for all the time they actually work (29 CFR 785.48(b)). The default is exact minutes.
Can I copy the same hours to the next day?
Yes. Every day after the first has a Same as … button that copies the day above (clock in, clock out and break) into that row. The card recalculates and saves at once, and Undo (or Ctrl/⌘ Z) puts the row back. After a copy the next day’s button has focus, so pressing Enter again fills the next day too.
Can I start the week on Sunday?
Yes. Pick any date in Week starting; the seven rows follow from that date.
How do I enter lunch out and lunch in times?
Type them into the break box with a dash, for example 12:00-12:30 or 12pm-12:45pm. The card subtracts the time between them and shows the break under the day’s hours. The lunch must fall inside the shift, so a lunch typed after clock out, or two breaks that overlap, is flagged instead of being subtracted silently. Several breaks can be separated by commas, and you can still type plain minutes such as 30.
Can I calculate a biweekly time card?
Yes. Set Pay period to 2 weeks (or open the biweekly time card calculator). The card shows 14 days with a subtotal for each week, and the weekly overtime limit is applied to each week separately rather than to the two-week total.
What happens on the night clocks change for daylight saving time?
The card counts clock time, so a 22:00 to 06:15 shift is 8:15 on the clock even on the night clocks go forward or back. If the shift’s date is a daylight saving change in this browser’s time zone, the row says how much time actually passed, so you can adjust it if your payroll counts elapsed time. The overnight shifts and daylight saving guide works through both nights with real numbers.
