About this shift
Start and end show the same time, so the span is a full day and ends in the afternoon the next day. 10 hours fall before midnight and 14 hours after it.
24 hours is two 12-hour shifts back to back. If you worked it as separate shifts, enter each one on its own line in the hours calculator so each gets its own break.
If you take a 30-minute unpaid break, 23 hours 30 minutes remain, which a timesheet in decimal hours shows as 23.5. The 30 minutes is an example, not a legal rule. Break and overtime rules depend on your contract and where you work. This page gives clock time only.
How the hours are worked out
- Write both times in 24-hour form: 14:00 and 14:00.
- The end time matches the start, so add 24 hours to it. 14:00 becomes 38:00.
- Subtract. 38:00 − 14:00 = 24:00, which is 24 hours.
- For minutes, 24 × 60 = 1,440. For decimal hours, 1,440 ÷ 60 = 24.
- With the break, 1,440 − 30 = 1,410 minutes, or 23 hours 30 minutes.
