Hello DelpClem
As I see it, a 38 hour, 5 day week would work out to 7 hours and 36 minutes per day.
38 hours / 5 days = 7.6 hours per day
That .6 could also be written as 60% of the next hour.
60% of 60 (minutes) is 36 minutes.
To check that, 36 minutes x 5 days = 180 minutes total
180 minutes / 60 minutes = 3 full hours
7 full hours x 5 days = 35 hours, plus 3 full hours = 38 hours within 5 days.
Could you let me know a bit more context surrounding your post, is there an issue in your payroll that I can help with? If you are seeing a figure in the software that doesn't add up as you think it should, please do let me know or provide a screenshot so that I can clarify or look into things further for you.
