What Work Hours Calculator does, with a checked example
Enter a clock-in time, a clock-out time, and a break length, and it returns the net hours actually worked, plus a regular/overtime split against a daily threshold you set (commonly 8 hours). It works entirely from the raw span between the two clock times, then deducts the break in minutes. The thing people trip on most: it treats the break value as a flat deduction from the span, not as time that was separately tracked with its own start and stop, so entering the wrong units (e.g. '30' meaning half an hour vs. 30 seconds) silently skews the result.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Clock in: 8:00 AM, Clock out: 5:30 PM, Break: 30 minutes, Overtime threshold: 8 hours/day
->
Expected output
Gross span: 9h 30m. Net worked: 9h 00m. Regular: 8h 00m. Overtime: 1h 00m.
8:00 AM to 5:30 PM spans 9 hours 30 minutes; subtracting the 30-minute break leaves 9 hours worked, and the hour beyond the 8-hour threshold is reported as overtime.
