Common mistakes when recording hours
n
- n
- Treating decimal points as minutes: The most frequent error on employee timesheets is writing 1 hour and 30 minutes as “1.30 hours”. 1.30 hours actually equals 1 hour and 18 minutes (0.30 × 60 = 18 min). One hour and 30 minutes must be logged as 1.50 hours.
- Overlooking billing increments: Many accounting and law firms bill in 6-minute increments (0.1 hours). Knowing that each 6-minute block equals exactly 0.1 hours helps ensure billing accuracy.
