Worked example: 1.1 decimal hours in hours and minutes
1.1 × 60 = 66 minutes. Round to 66 minutes, then divide into complete hours and the remainder: 1h 6m.
The decimal part is a fraction of sixty minutes, not a count of minutes. For this entry the fraction contributes 6 minutes before whole-minute rounding. Convert each original entry before summing if your policy rounds entries separately; rounding only the final total can give a different result.
Assumptions and limits
- Non-negative duration, rounded to nearest whole minute. Half-minute ties round upward.
- This is a duration, not a clock time or a pay-rounding recommendation.
- Unpaid breaks must be deducted separately; no overtime or wage rule is inferred.
