FAQs
Answer: There are numerous methods to calculate the duration of your lunch break that may change according to the situation.
We will use an example to make you understand the primary method. It would give you an idea of the approach that may help you in finding out your answer.
Example:
John arrived at work at 8:00 AM and left his room for lunch at 12:30 PM. After lunch, He came back to his office at 1.30 PM and worked till 5:00 PM, till the end of the working day. How long was his Lunch Break?
Solution:
Due to Lunch Break, John's work hours were divided into two shifts.
Shift 1 was from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM, and Shift 2 was from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM.
So, End Time of Shift 1 would be the Start Time of Lunch Break, and Start Time of Shift 2 would be the End Time of Lunch Break. Therefore, we will subtract End Time of Shift 1 from Start Time of Shift 2 to get a duration of Lunch Time:
- Subtract Minutes: 30 – 30 = 00 Minutes
- As Hours of End Time of Lunch Breaks are lower than Start Time of Lunch Break (in Value) so we will ADD 12 Hours in Hours of End Time: 1+12 = 13.
- Do Subtract Start Time of Lunch Break from End Time: 13 – 12 = 1 Hours.
Summary: 1:30 PM minus 12:30 PM equals 1:00 Hours, So, Lunch Break was 1 Hour Long.
