Overtime calculator with shifts
Overtime is usually a “data problem”: start/end times, breaks, and a consistent weekly/monthly structure.
Track work hours, overtime, multiple jobs, and clean exports in one place instead of splitting them across notes, spreadsheets, and chats.
1) Separate regular time vs overtime
- Use the same period every time (week or month)
- Confirm pauses are subtracted from work time
- Use the shift window as the truth source
2) Don’t forget breaks and overnight work
- Short breaks can change overtime totals a lot
- Overnight shifts may cross midnight—handle them consistently
- Check edge cases before you export
3) Export a clean report
- PDF for review/signature
- CSV for payroll/accounting workflows
- Keep projects/clients separated if needed
FAQ
How do I handle pauses when calculating overtime?
Record pauses as part of your shift entry (or subtract them in your workflow) and export using the same weekly/monthly view to keep the numbers consistent.
Do I need a separate shift schedule?
You can track time manually, but a planned shift/template workflow helps you keep work windows consistent—especially when hours span multiple days.
App & site
If you want one workflow for shifts, earnings, reports, and exports, use the app for daily tracking and the main site for the broader overview.
