Hour and Minute Formats Follow
Easily customize your account's displayed time with the hour and minute settings. Use the minute format setting to switch all totals and reports between standard (HH:MM) and decimal formats, displaying time in tenths or hundredths. The hour format setting lets you choose between a 24-hour (military) time format and a 12-hour AM/PM format, giving you flexibility to meet your company's preferences.
Notes:
- Time cards will still display the standard hour and minute the punch took place, only timecard totals are converted to decimal.
- When you are adding up hours worked for individual dates and comparing them to the totals, you must convert the minutes to decimals before attempting to add them up on a calculator. ex. 1:30 + 4:45 does not equal 5.75 hours and 5:75 isn't proper either. The correct conversion and sum must be done as follows: 1.50 + 4.75 = 6.25 hours or 6:15 (converted back to minutes).
