Timesheets & Payroll

Switch hours between decimals and hours:minutes

Choose how durations display without changing the recorded punches.

Step by step

  1. Open Timesheets and find the hours-format selector beside the period and export controls.
  2. Choose Standard Decimal (4.5) or Hours & Minutes (04:30).
  3. Review the same period totals in the chosen format.
  4. For export defaults, review the matching format setting in Settings under Time Clock.

Troubleshooting

Is 4.5 hours the same as 4 hours 50 minutes?

No. 4.5 decimal hours equals 4 hours 30 minutes. Hours:minutes formatting changes the display of a duration, not the shift’s clock-in or clock-out time.
