Question 1

Does it include the break in total time?

Accepted Answer

Usually no. Break time is treated as excluded from work or elapsed time totals. If your context includes break in totals, adjust inputs accordingly.

Question 2

How should I handle fractional minutes?

Accepted Answer

If you track seconds, the tool should support minute fractions. Otherwise, round using your policy (for example, nearest 5 minutes).

Question 3

What if the end time is earlier than the start time?

Accepted Answer

That usually indicates crossing midnight. Some tools support this directly; if not, you may need to interpret it as the next day.
