Time Card Rounding Explained

Understand how rounding affects time cards and why exact time totals should be reviewed before rounding.

What rounding does

Rounding changes exact clock times into easier increments such as 5, 6, 10, or 15 minutes.

Small rounding changes can add up over many shifts, especially for overtime or invoices.

Calculate exact totals first, then apply any required rounding policy consistently.

Calculate daily and weekly time card totals from clock-in time, clock-out time, breaks, hourly rate, and overtime threshold.

Convert hours and minutes into decimal hours for payroll, invoices, spreadsheets, and timesheets.

Does TimesheetKit round time cards?

No. It calculates exact totals from the times entered.

Should I round each day or the final total?

Use the method required by your policy or agreement.
