Clock-out mode: the paid hours the shift has to reach, before any unpaid break.
Format: Label, clock in, clock out, unpaid break minutes - e.g. "Mon, 8:00 am, 5:00 pm, 30". Add extra in/out pairs for split shifts ("Tue, 8:00, 12:00, 13:00, 17:00"). A clock-out earlier than the clock-in is treated as an overnight shift. Leave this blank to use the single shift fields below.
Single-shift mode: used only when the timesheet box above is empty.
A time at or before the clock-in is read as an overnight shift.
Single-shift mode: unpaid meal or rest minutes deducted from the shift.
Deducted from any day long enough to qualify that has no punched break. 29 CFR 785.19 only permits this where a bona fide meal period was genuinely taken.
Shifts shorter than this keep every on-clock minute.
Optional. The calendar date of the first timesheet row. 29 CFR 778.105 defines the workweek as a fixed, recurring 168-hour period; setting the anchor dates every row and names its weekday.
Rows are grouped into workweeks this many at a time, so a 14-row biweekly timesheet is split into two FLSA workweeks.
29 CFR 785.48(b) permits rounding to the nearest quarter hour if it averages out over time.
Leave at 0 to total hours only.
