An employer only records and pays for time if employees work in full 15 minute increments. An employee paid $10 per hour is scheduled to work 8 hours a day Monday through Friday, for a total of 40 hours a week. The employee always clocks out 12 minutes after the end of her shift.
The main difference is how the employee is paid. Hourly workers are paid an hourly rate for each hour they work and are entitled to overtime pay if they work over 40 hours per week. Salaried employees are typically not given overtime pay.
