#### 1. Understanding the Time Entries
Each day has two shifts:
- Morning shift: `Time In` → `Time Out`
- Afternoon shift: `Time In` → `Time Out`
We'll calculate the hours for each shift and sum them daily.
---
| Date | Day | Morning Shift | Afternoon Shift | Total Hours |
|------------|-----------|---------------|------------------|-------------|
| 11/1/2021 | Monday | 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM = 3:00 | 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM = 4:00 | 7:00 |
| 11/2/2021 | Tuesday | 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM = 2:30 | 1:30 PM – 4:00 PM = 2:30 | 5:00 |
| 11/3/2021 | Wednesday | 8:21 AM – 11:00 AM = 2:39 | 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM = 3:30 | 6:09 |
| 11/4/2021 | Thursday | 8:00 AM – 10:45 AM = 2:45 | 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM = 6:00 | 8:45 |
| 11/5/2021 | Friday | 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM = 3:00 | 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM = 4:00 | 7:00 |
| 11/6/2021 | Saturday | 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM = 3:00 | (No afternoon shift) | 3:00 |
| 11/7/2021 | Sunday | (No shift) | (No shift) | 0:00 |
> ⚠️ Note: On Wednesday, morning shift from 8:21 AM to 11:00 AM is 2 hours 39 minutes.
> On Thursday, morning shift is 2 hours 45 minutes.

Let’s add all the daily totals:
```
Monday: 7:00
Tuesday: 5:00
Wednesday: 6:09
Thursday: 8:45
Friday: 7:00
Saturday: 3:00
Sunday: 0:00
```
Now add them step by step:
1. Hours:
7 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 7 + 3 + 0 = 46 hours
2. Minutes:
0 + 0 + 9 + 45 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 54 minutes
✔ So total time worked = 46 hours 54 minutes → 46:54
But the sheet says 36:54 — this is incorrect.
Wait! Let's double-check the individual day totals in the sheet:
- Monday: 7:00 → correct (3 + 4)
- Tuesday: 5:00 → correct (2.5 + 2.5 = 5)
- Wednesday: 6:09 → correct (2:39 + 3:30 = 6:09)
- Thursday: 8:45 → correct (2:45 + 6:00 = 8:45)
- Friday: 7:00 → correct (3 + 4)
- Saturday: 3:00 → correct
- Sunday: 0:00 → correct
Now sum again:
```
7:00
+5:00 = 12:00
+6:09 = 18:09
+8:45 = 26:54
+7:00 = 33:54
+3:00 = 36:54
+0:00 = 36:54
```
✔ So Total Hours = 36:54 is correct.
Wait — but earlier I thought it was 46:54? That was a mistake.
Let me recheck the morning shifts:
- Monday: 8–11 AM = 3h → ✔
- Tuesday: 8:30–11:00 = 2.5h → ✔
- Wednesday: 8:21–11:00 = 2h 39m → ✔
- Thursday: 8:00–10:45 = 2h 45m → ✔
- Friday: 8:00–11:00 = 3h → ✔
- Saturday: 8:00–11:00 = 3h → ✔
Afternoon shifts:
- Monday: 1:00–5:00 PM = 4h → ✔
- Tuesday: 1:30–4:00 = 2.5h → ✔
- Wednesday: 1:00–4:30 = 3.5h → ✔
- Thursday: 1:00–7:00 = 6h → ✔
- Friday: 1:00–5:00 = 4h → ✔
Now let’s sum all actual hours:
| Day | Morning | Afternoon | Total |
|-----------|---------|-----------|-------|
| Mon | 3:00 | 4:00 | 7:00 |
| Tue | 2:30 | 2:30 | 5:00 |
| Wed | 2:39 | 3:30 | 6:09 |
| Thu | 2:45 | 6:00 | 8:45 |
| Fri | 3:00 | 4:00 | 7:00 |
| Sat | 3:00 | 0:00 | 3:00 |
| Sun | 0:00 | 0:00 | 0:00 |
Now total:
- Hours: 7+5+6+8+7+3+0 = 46 hours
- Minutes: 0+0+9+45+0+0+0 = 54 minutes
Wait — that gives 46:54, but the sheet says 36:54.
✘ There’s a discrepancy.
But looking at the sheet again:
- On Thursday, the morning shift is 8:00 AM – 10:45 AM → 2h 45m → ✔
- But the afternoon shift is 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM → 6h → ✔
So Thursday = 2:45 + 6:00 = 8:45 → matches.
But when we sum:
- Mon: 7:00
- Tue: 5:00 → total: 12:00
- Wed: 6:09 → total: 18:09
- Thu: 8:45 → total: 26:54
- Fri: 7:00 → total: 33:54
- Sat: 3:00 → total: 36:54
Ah! So the total is indeed 36:54.
But wait — how?
Let’s convert everything to minutes to avoid confusion.
---
| Day | Morning (min) | Afternoon (min) | Total (min) |
|-----------|---------------|------------------|-------------|
| Mon | 8:00–11:00 → 3×60 = 180 | 1:00–5:00 → 4×60 = 240 | 420 |
| Tue | 8:30–11:00 → 2.5×60 = 150 | 1:30–4:00 → 2.5×60 = 150 | 300 |
| Wed | 8:21–11:00 → 2h39m = 159 min | 1:00–4:30 → 3.5×60 = 210 | 369 |
| Thu | 8:00–10:45 → 2h45m = 165 min | 1:00–7:00 → 6×60 = 360 | 525 |
| Fri | 8:00–11:00 → 180 | 1:00–5:00 → 240 | 420 |
| Sat | 8:00–11:00 → 180 | 0 | 180 |
| Sun | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Now sum all minutes:
```
Mon: 420
Tue: 300 → 720
Wed: 369 → 1089
Thu: 525 → 1614
Fri: 420 → 2034
Sat: 180 → 2214
Sun: 0 → 2214
```
Total minutes = 2214
Convert to hours:
- 2214 ÷ 60 = 36.9 hours
- 0.9 × 60 = 54 minutes
✔ So 36 hours 54 minutes → 36:54 → ✔️ Correct
Earlier mistake: I misread the morning shift on Thursday as 8:00–10:45 = 2:45 → yes, but then I incorrectly added the total across days.
So the total hours of 36:54 is correct.
---
- Rate per hour: $15.00
- Total hours: 36.9 hours (since 36:54 = 36 + 54/60 = 36.9)
$$
\text{Total Pay} = 36.9 \times 15 = ?
$$
Calculate:
- 36 × 15 = 540
- 0.9 × 15 = 13.5
- Total = 540 + 13.5 = $553.50
✔ Matches the value shown.
---
The timesheet is correct.
- Total Hours Worked: 36:54 (36.9 hours)
- Rate Per Hour: $15.00
- Total Pay: $553.50
✔️ All calculations are accurate.
