Receptionist Time Card Calculator — Timesheet for five 8-hour days, Monday to Friday

A weekly time card pre-set the way receptionists actually work: five 8-hour days, Monday to Friday. Adjust the shifts to your own week — overtime split and gross pay follow instantly.

In short: This card starts from a typical receptionist week — Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM with a 30-minute unpaid break (8 paid hours) — at $18/hour. That week totals 40:00 hours and $720.00 gross under the federal weekly rule. Change any shift, break or the rate and the whole week recalculates.

How It Works — Overtime for Receptionists

The card turns each shift into paid minutes (clock-out minus clock-in, minus unpaid breaks; overnight shifts roll into the next day), then splits the week: the first 40 paid hours are regular, the rest are overtime at 1.5×. Rules summarized from the US Department of Labor (FLSA). Last verified: November 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am paid a salary. Can I still earn overtime?

Very likely yes. Salary alone does not exempt anyone: a receptionist’s duties rarely fit the administrative exemption, which also requires real discretion and independent judgment on significant matters. Most receptionists are non-exempt and owed overtime past 40 hours.

I answer phones through lunch but lunch is deducted. Is that legal?

Generally no. A meal period can be unpaid only when you are completely relieved of duty. If you must stay at the desk and respond to calls or visitors, that time is hours worked and must be paid.

Do after-hours emails and calls count?

Work performed at home that the employer knows about (or should know about) counts — including answering calls and messages outside your shift. Small, hard-to-track minutes can be treated as de minimis, but regular after-hours work is compensable.

How do I check a paycheck in a holiday week?

Overtime counts hours actually worked: paid holiday hours you did not work do not push the week past 40 under federal law. Rebuild the week with only worked hours and compare against the stub.

Does this card save my week?

Yes — automatically, in your browser’s local storage on this device only. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Archive a finished week and it stays viewable on the same device (up to 12 archived weeks).

How it works — the formula

The formula: Gross = (regular hours × rate) + (overtime hours × rate × 1.5), where overtime hours are the paid hours beyond 40 in the workweek.

Worked example

The pre-loaded week — Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM with a 30-minute unpaid break (8 paid hours) — is Monday 8 h, Tuesday 8 h, Wednesday 8 h, Thursday 8 h, Friday 8 h: 40:00 paid hours. At the pre-set rate that is 40:00 regular ($720.00) with no overtime = $720.00 gross before taxes.

Disclaimer: Estimates only — not payroll or legal advice. Your employer's payroll rules and state law control your actual pay. Figures are rounded for display; your pay stub and payroll department are the official record.
