How to Calculate Weekly Timesheet Hours
Add daily work hours into weekly totals and check regular and overtime hours.
Weekly process
Calculate each day after unpaid breaks, then add the daily totals. Compare the weekly total to your overtime threshold if needed.
Example
Five 9.5 hour paid days total 47.5 weekly hours. With a 40 hour threshold, overtime is 7.5 hours.
Keep assumptions visible
Record the overtime threshold and rate multiplier used so someone can review the calculation.
