Quick answer
For example, use PTO for sharing/archiving: back up, export to the target format and spot-check 2-3 files. PTO usually isn't hours worked but may count as paid leave under policy.
Why it matters
Real scenarios expose problems better than abstract specs.
Separate worked hours from paid leave.
Step by step
- Confirm company/local rules for hours, breaks and overtime.
- Record start/end and break minutes daily; don't reconstruct the week later.
- Total by week and check duplicates/missing/overnight shifts.
- Confirm the overtime threshold (e.g. 40 h/week) before calculating.
- Export CSV/screenshot before submitting and keep approval records.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting breaks, inflating hours.
- Counting an overnight shift only on the start day and losing hours.
- Treating 8 h/day as the overtime threshold.
- Submitting without a copy, leaving no evidence in a pay dispute.
Checklist
- Daily records, not weekend reconstruction.
- Breaks/overnight/night shifts handled correctly.
- Weekly total and OT threshold confirmed.
- Rate/multiplier/rounding rules confirmed.
- CSV exported/approval records kept.
Key facts
- Separate worked hours from paid leave.
- OT-threshold treatment varies by jurisdiction.
