Quick answer
For example, use Hours rounding for sharing/archiving: back up, export to the target format and spot-check 2-3 files. Rounding rules must be documented and must not systematically underpay.
Why it matters
Real scenarios expose problems better than abstract specs.
6/15-minute rounding is common.
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
- 6/15-minute rounding is common.
- One-way rounding can be unlawful.
