  Calculating time is very important in any workplace.

  You need to:

  • get to work on time
  • complete tasks in a specified time

  Arriving late to a job could:

  • affect the person on the previous shift
  • mean poor customer service
  • reflect badly on the business

  You will be asked to note:

  • the times you start and finish work
  • the breaks you take

  Systems for timesheets can be:

  • paper based
  • computer based

  Calculating the hours you have worked from your timesheet is an important skill. It is a good idea to:

  • make your own calculations
  • check your hours worked against pay received

  There are 60 minutes in one hour.

  When changing minutes to hours you divide by 60.

  When changing hours to minutes you multiply by 60.

  When you arrive at work you must note the time on your timesheet. This information is important so that you can be paid correctly for hours worked.

  You need to note your:

  • start and finish times
  • lunch breaks.

  Each day your work hours will be totalled. At the end of the pay period all hours will be totalled. Times for lunch breaks will be deducted from time spent in the workplace.

  For example: If you arrive at work at 8am and leave at 5pm you have spent 9 hours at work. If you take a 1 hour lunch break this will be deducted from the 9 hours and you will be paid for 8 hours.

  When your pay period has finished your supervisor will sign it and you will be paid.

  A timesheet records the number of hours and minutes worked by employees during a pay period. It is your responsibility to enter all details and times accurately into your timesheet.

• Do It: Calculating Time

  Being able to calculate time is very important in all work places. It is necessary to fill out all documentation correctly with time so that payments are made to you and others accurately.

  When calculating time with just hours or just minutes, it's quite easy.

  Example: Add together ten minutes and seven minutes.
  Answer: 10 + 7 = 17 minutes, easy so far!

  When we are dealing with hours and minutes together then it can take more steps to get to the answer.

  Example: What is 90 minutes expressed in hours and minutes?
  Answer: Divide by 60 to get the number of hours (90 ÷ 60 = 1 with 30 mins left over). The answer is 1 hour and 30 mins.
