Why rounding matters
A few minutes may not look like much on one shift, but repeated rounding can affect weekly totals. Keep your own notes if your displayed time and your actual punched time are different.
Use the calculator carefully
The clock-out calculator includes no rounding, nearest 5 minutes, and nearest 15 minutes. Use the no-rounding result first, then compare it to your workplace's displayed rounded time.
