Learn how to enter the correct times onto a Timesheet

Updated over a month ago

Overview

Before you submit your first timesheet, it's important to understand that the entertainment industry uses 24-hour clock (military time) formatting to be clear about what times exist in the AM vs PM. In addition, some unions enforce rounding up all times to 6-minute increments.

Therefore, you'll enter times in the following format:

  • 9:00 AM = 0900

  • 9:06 PM = 2106

If your shift spans past midnight, you will enter the time in the following manner:

  • Call Time: 6:00 PM = 1800

  • Wrap Time: 3:00 AM = 2500
