Quick answer
Shift work is the core object here; understand the problem it solves before choosing a tool or workflow. Shift work needs shift/handover/overnight tracking to avoid missing hours.
Why it matters
Without the concept, format, permission or compatibility issues are easily misread as tool failures.
Overnight shifts count actual duration.
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
- Overnight shifts count actual duration.
- Whether handover is paid depends on rules.
