How to calculate time worked in TeamWork - Tired MT


Posted: Jul 05, 2014

Have recently switched to full time, so need to understand how to calculate my hours so I don't go over 40 each week.  So far, it is clear as mud to me.  For example, I worked 3 hours and 6 minutes and the clock showed 3:10 hours.  Another time I worked 3 hours and 13 minutes, and the clock showed 3:22 hours.   Makes no sense to me.  

 

If someone can help me understand this, I would be very appreciative.  TIA

 

 

It is a decimal - See Message

Teamwork shows minutes as decimals of an hour. Therefore, 3 hours and 6 minutes is 3.1 hours. It's showing you a decimal, 3.1 not 3:10. Same for 3 hours and 13 minutes. It's 3.22 hours because 13 minutes out of 1 hour (13 divided by 60) is 0.22 of an hour.

Take your minutes, divide by 60, and you get your decimal.

For example:
15 minutes is 0.25
30 minutes is 0.5
45 minutes is 0.75

Hope I helped and did not confuse you further.

Thanks. - Tired MT

Google: Springfrog's Decimal Time Converter

Just fill in the decimal time you have in Teamwork, and then click on convert decimal time to hour, minute, and seconds.

I've added this to my Favorites and use it all the time - has saved me a ton of headaches...

Thanks - Tired MT

like .12 x 60 = 7.2 (minutes) depending on what you're trying to figure.

Teamwork Unscheduled Time Off Question
Jun 08, 2011

I read the instructions but maybe missed something?  I can't ask my CCM because she's intolerable and rude.  I missed about 4 days last week from being very sick.  I only have 7 hours PTO anyway because I'm still healing from broken bones from a few months ago.  I want to save any PTO I can for Christmas, so if I want to do unscheduled time off with no pay how do I put that in?  Or do I just leave my timesheet alone and not put anything in for those days?& ...

Do They Calculate Your LPH Before Dividing Your Speech Or No? Sm
Dec 04, 2014

Just wondering- Do they take your lines and half the speech lines and THEN divide that by your hours and get your LPH OR do they take your total speech and typed lines first and get your LPH , then divide the speech lines in half? That makes a difference. Does anyone know????? I still cannot see a huge impact. I have calculated 2 past weeks of pay using the new way and also an older scorecard. One was the same, one was 10$ less for that week and one was about 15$ more for the week. BUT I also a ...

Anyway, that was just venting for how user-unfriendly Teamwork is in my opinion. I went to messaging and put in a message and saved it, shows ...
