Time Tracking Sum

Total weekly hours and gross pay from a daily timesheet.

About Time Tracking Sum

Daily hours are summed, any amount over forty is overtime, and gross pay applies the base rate to regular hours and time-and-a-half to overtime. Accurately summing a timesheet prevents both underpayment and the silent erosion of overtime that is easy to lose in ad-hoc records.

Formula
