More Information
When you enter the amount of hours that an employee has worked in a time sheet, you must enter the minutes as a fraction of an hour. For example, if an employee worked one hour and 20 minutes, you would type 1.333 in the Duration (Hours) field. The following chart shows how minutes are converted to a fraction of an hour by dividing the number of minutes by 60.
