Worked Example

Let's say you worked from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with a 30-minute break. Here's how to calculate it:

Total shift duration: 5:00 PM - 8:00 AM = 9 hours
Subtract break time: 9 hours - 0.5 hours = 8.5 hours

So your total hours worked would be 8.5 hours.

Note: This example assumes a standard 8-hour workday. Your actual results may vary based on your specific work schedule and break policies.
