Hourly work
Base earnings equal paid hours multiplied by the saved hourly rate. Clock-time examples subtract the unpaid break from the elapsed clock time. Overnight entry explicitly moves the end into the next day.
Day portions
Agreed day earnings equal daily rate × portion. $250 × 0.5 = $125. Prorating five hours against an agreed eight-hour day gives 0.625 × $250 = $156.25. No standard day length is assumed.
Rounding
Every amount is calculated as quantity × rate and rounded once to the nearest cent. Crew totals add the already-rounded amounts for each worker, so the total always matches the lines shown.
Weekly overtime examples
The public time-card calculator supports one constant hourly rate and editable weekly threshold and multiplier. Its example 40-hour threshold and 1.5 multiplier are not a determination of the rules that apply to you. The saved workspace displays base earnings only.
Rates, payments, and balances
Each work entry preserves its rate. Recorded payments reduce only the selected worker’s balance. An overpayment is shown as worker credit. Reversals retain the original payment record. Crew owed is the sum of each worker’s positive balance; one worker’s credit never offsets another worker’s balance.
Limits
Crew Tally does not calculate taxes, deductions, minimum-pay or overtime obligations, and it does not move money. Daylight-saving transitions are not resolved in clock-time entries; verify actual elapsed time across a change. Treat every figure as an estimate of the agreement you entered.
