Figuring Late night Hours

[WIgirl]

I have a timesheet that allows employees to enter their start and end times
in regular time format. The current formulas then add up the amount of time
actually worked wich is also deleivered in regular time format.

Employees get an extra amount of money for working late night hours, so I
would like to figure their time separately. For example they worked a total
of 4:45 at (4h 45m) at the regular wage and then 2:00 (2h 0m) at the higher
rate time.

In essence Excel will have to look at the start and end times and determine
if they fall between the "late night hours" then add the two times separatley.

Any ideas? Is this even possible?

It depends on how complicated your rules are.
You have to give more information.

First of all, what exactly is considered "late night"?

Does the premium rate pertain to *only* the time spent within those exact
hours?
If 15 minutes is within that time frame, is only that 15 minutes premium?
What about 10 minutes? ... 5 minutes?

If only 15 minutes falls outside the "late night" period, does that revert
back to "regular" rate?

Would a total daily wage calculation be required, as opposed to simply
separating the different categories of daily work hours into separate
columns?

Does (will) overtime or lunch breaks come into the picture at all?
