Frequently Asked Questions

How is overtime calculated?

If daily work hours exceed 8 hours, the excess is counted as daily overtime. If the weekly total exceeds 40 hours, additional weekly overtime is generated. This calculator displays daily overtime per row and shows the cumulative total in the summary.

Can I save my timesheet?

Data persists within your browser session only. For long-term tracking, we recommend copying the table data or managing it in a spreadsheet.

Can I add multiple entries for the same date?

Yes. For split shifts (morning and afternoon), add the same date twice and both records will be included in the totals.

Are night shift or holiday premiums calculated?

This calculator tracks work hours and overtime hours only. Night shift (10 PM–6 AM) and holiday premiums must be calculated separately.

How can I check if I've exceeded 52 hours?

If the 'Overtime Hours' in the summary exceeds 12 hours for a given week, you've hit the 52-hour cap. Enter data week by week to monitor this.

Why is break time deducted?

Under Article 54 of the Labor Standards Act, break time is not counted as working time. Net work hours = (end time – start time) – break duration.

Understanding Work Hour Timesheets

The Work Hours Timesheet Calculator is an online tool that helps employees record daily start and end times and automatically compute regular and overtime hours.

How Work Hours Are Calculated

Daily net work hours = (end time - start time) - break duration. For example, 09:00 start, 18:00 end, 60-minute break = (9 hours) - 1 hour = 8 hours.

Overtime Threshold

Under Korean labor law, the statutory limit is 8 hours/day and 40 hours/week. Any work beyond these limits is classified as extended work (overtime) and requires a 50% wage premium.

Understanding the 52-Hour Work Week

Introduced in 2018, the 52-hour cap limits weekly work to 52 hours (40 statutory + 12 extended). Violations can result in up to 2 years imprisonment or fines up to 20 million KRW for employers.

Why Track Your Timesheet

Accurate work records are essential for payroll verification, annual leave calculation, severance pay computation, and dispute resolution. Building a daily habit of recording your hours is strongly recommended.
