To calculate the total hours on a weekly time card, you need to sum up the number of hours worked each day for the entire week. Here's how you can do it:

Record Hours Worked Each Day: Start by recording the number of hours worked by the employee each day of the week. This includes both regular hours and any overtime hours worked.
Add Up Daily Hours: Add together the hours worked each day to get the total hours worked for the week.

Let's illustrate this with an example:

Suppose an employee's time card for a week looks like this:

Monday: 8 hours
Tuesday: 8 hours
Wednesday: 8 hours
Thursday: 9 hours
Friday: 7 hours

To calculate the total hours worked for the week:

Total Hours = 8 hours (Monday) + 8 hours (Tuesday) + 8 hours (Wednesday) + 9 hours (Thursday) + 7 hours (Friday) = 40 hours

Therefore, the total hours worked on the weekly time card would be 40 hours.

$What is a Weekly Time Card? Banner$

$Time Card$ A weekly time card is a document used by employers to track the hours worked by employees over the course of a week. It typically includes columns or sections where employees record their daily start and end times for each workday, as well as any breaks or meal periods taken.

Key components of a weekly time card may include:

Employee Information: This includes the employee's name, employee ID or number, department, and possibly other identifying information.
Week Starting Date: The time card will specify the week for which the hours are being recorded, usually starting with the first day of the workweek.
Daily Hours: Employees record their start and end times for each workday. Some time cards may also include separate columns for recording break times or meal periods.
Total Hours: The total number of hours worked each day and for the entire week are typically calculated and recorded on the time card.
Overtime Hours: If applicable, overtime hours (hours worked beyond a certain threshold, usually 40 hours in a workweek) may be indicated separately.
Employee Signature/Approval: Once the week's hours are recorded, the employee may need to sign or otherwise approve the time card to confirm its accuracy.
Supervisor/Manager Approval: A supervisor or manager may review and approve the time card to ensure accuracy and compliance with company policies and labor laws.

Weekly time cards serve as a record of hours worked by employees, which is used for various purposes such as calculating payroll, determining eligibility for overtime pay, and tracking attendance. They are a common tool used in many workplaces, particularly those with hourly or non-exempt employees who are paid based on the hours they work. Additionally, they help ensure accurate and transparent record-keeping for both employees and employers.
