⚖️ Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) & Overtime Rules
Under federal FLSA regulations (and UK working time directives), non-exempt employees must receive 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked exceeding 40 hours in a single 7-day workweek. Mandatory meal breaks (30 minutes or more where the employee is completely relieved of all duties) are unpaid and legally deducted from total billable hours.
About this tool
How to use it

Why it matters
Hourly employees and freelancers frequently lose out on wages due to manual rounding errors or forgotten meal break subtractions. Automatic midnight-crossing shift calculators ensure that every earned minute and 1.5x overtime hour is accurately accounted for on your paycheck.
When to use it
Use this tool at the conclusion of every workweek before submitting physical or digital timesheets to your employer or staffing agency.
Good to know
Seamlessly calculates overnight night shifts crossing midnight (e.g. 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM) without manual day-splitting.
Common questions
How does the calculator handle overnight shifts?
If your clock-out time is earlier than your clock-in time (e.g. In at 22:00, Out at 06:00), the calculator automatically detects that the shift crossed midnight into the following morning and adds 24 hours to ensure accurate hour totals.
How is overtime pay calculated?
All billable hours worked up to your specified weekly threshold (usually 40 hours) are paid at your regular base rate. Any hours worked beyond that threshold are automatically calculated at 1.5 times (time-and-a-half) your base rate.
Are meal breaks paid?
Under standard labor laws, bona fide meal breaks lasting 30 minutes or longer (where the employee is fully relieved of job duties) are unpaid and legally deducted from total billable hours.
Can I print my timesheet?
Yes! Clicking 'Print Timesheet' opens a dedicated clean black-and-white print view formatted for A4 and US Letter payroll records.
