Clear methods. Focused scope. Honest limits.

Why Ready Hours exists

Ready Hours exists to make weekly time arithmetic understandable: clock times, unpaid breaks, overnight shifts, decimal hours and an optional pay estimate.

How it works

Calculations run in the browser and expose both clock-style and decimal totals. The site separates arithmetic from jurisdiction-specific payroll and overtime rules.

Editorial standard

Every page should answer a real question within this tool’s narrow subject. We explain assumptions, include worked examples where useful, state important limitations and avoid publishing unrelated pages merely to capture searches.

Review and corrections

Product behavior is checked against the examples on this site. Editorial pages are reviewed when calculation behavior or time-card guidance changes. Significant corrections should update both the guidance and its visible review date.
