Two Patterns, Hours Compared

Weekly hours for two shift patterns you define, and the difference between them.

What it does

each pattern's shift length times its days for the week, and the difference between the two totals.

The page is arithmetic: it reads the numbers you type and returns hours and, where a rate is involved, a gross figure from your own numbers. It is not a payroll system, it decides nothing, and no rate, threshold, break length or rule is stored in the tool. A box you leave empty is treated as zero.

Where the rules live

The state rule text on this site is restated from the US Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division tables on the state pages, and the authority for every rule is the Department of Labor and your state labor office. This page does not interpret any of it.
