Our employment attorneys have found that employers typically round to the nearest 15 minutes or quarter-hour. This allows for the “7 minute rule,” where: the first 7 minutes to the increment, 1 through 7, are rounded down, and. the final 7 minutes, or 8-15, are rounded up.
Here's a simple breakdown of how it operates: Clock-In rounding: When an employee clocks in, their entry time is rounded to the nearest quarter-hour increment. If they clock in between 0-7 minutes past the quarter-hour mark, it's rounded down, and if it's 8-14 minutes past, it's rounded up.
