How it works

Choosing your preferred time format

Hours+ allows you to choose between entering times via Military Time or AM/PM format.

Hours+ has Military Time as the default format. To switch to AM/PM, you can do so using the “More Options” button:

This will allow you to switch to AM/PM format:

The system will round up in 6-minute increments

Start and stop times recorded in your timecard are rounded to the nearest tenth of an hour (i.e. 6-minute increments). Time rounding makes it easier for payroll to calculate the total time you worked in a day. 

You can enter your time in minutes (using ":") or in decimals (using ".")

If you enter your time in decimal format, the system will automatically update it to hour:minute format (00:00) in the proper 6-minute increment.
