Questions answered

What to know before using the result.

How are minutes converted to decimal hours?

Divide the minutes by 60, then round only the displayed result to the selected number of decimal places.

Is 30 minutes 0.30 hours?

No. Thirty minutes is 0.5 hours because 30 divided by 60 equals 0.5.

Should payroll round every time punch separately?

Use the employer's required policy. Rounding each punch can produce a different total from rounding the final unrounded duration.
