⚡ Shift Templates
Quick Start Templates:
Morning Shift: 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM (8 hours)
Day Shift: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (8 hours)
Evening Shift: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM (8 hours)

12-Hour Hospital: 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM (12 hours)
4×10 Compressed: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM (10 hours)
💰 Overtime Pay Formula
Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Hourly Rate
Overtime Pay = (Total Hours – Regular Hours) × Hourly Rate × 1.5
Double Time = (Hours > 12) × Hourly Rate × 2.0
Overtime Example:
Hourly Rate: $15.00/hour
Hours Worked: 10 hours
Regular Pay: 8 hours × $15.00 = $120.00
Overtime Pay: 2 hours × $15.00 × 1.5 = $45.00
Total Earnings: $120.00 + $45.00 = $165.00
