Questions
What is the 7-minute rule?
With quarter-hour rounding, punches 1 to 7 minutes past a quarter hour round down and punches 8 to 14 minutes past round up to the next quarter hour. Clocking in at 8:07 rounds to 8:00, and 8:08 rounds to 8:15.
What does rounding to 6 minutes mean?
Six minutes is one tenth of an hour, so rounded times convert cleanly to decimal hours such as 7.9 or 8.1.
Does my employer have to round this way?
No. Rounding policies differ between employers and many pay exact minutes. This tool shows how nearest-increment rounding works; check your own workplace policy.
Is my data saved or sent anywhere?
