Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert hours and minutes to decimal?
Divide the minutes by 60 and add to the hours. 7 hours 45 minutes = 7 + (45/60) = 7.75 decimal hours. Common conversions: 15 min = 0.25, 30 min = 0.50, 45 min = 0.75. Decimal format is needed for payroll calculations.
Are paid breaks included in work hours?
Short rest breaks (under 20 minutes) are generally considered paid work time. Meal breaks (30+ minutes) where the employee is completely relieved of duties are typically unpaid and deducted from work hours.
What is the standard work day in hours?
The standard full-time work day is 8 hours. With a typical 30-minute unpaid lunch, employees are on-site for 8.5 hours. Some companies use 7.5-hour days with a 1-hour lunch. Part-time thresholds vary but are generally under 30-35 hours per week.
