1. Calculation accuracy
We test every calculator against worked examples and review the source code regularly. That said, no tool is perfect. Always sanity-check important results against a second source — especially when payroll, tax filings, or legal compliance depends on the answer.
Floating-point arithmetic in browsers can produce trailing-decimal artifacts (e.g., 0.30000000000000004 instead of 0.3). We round display values to avoid this, but if you need bit-exact results for a regulatory submission, use a system designed for that purpose.
2. Not legal, tax, or payroll advice
Articles on this site cite U.S. Department of Labor rules (notably the FLSA 7-minute rule) and general payroll-industry conventions. This is information, not advice. Federal rules interact with state rules, union contracts, and employer policies in ways that depend on your specific situation.
For decisions that affect compensation or compliance, consult a qualified employment attorney, certified payroll professional (CPP), or your state Department of Labor.
3. Editorial standards
Articles are written or edited by Emma Carter, a Workforce Productivity Specialist with five-plus years in payroll and time-tracking implementations. We follow these standards:
- Every regulatory citation links to the primary source (statute, regulation, or government agency page), not to a third-party summary.
- Original data points (e.g., the “2026 Payroll Rounding Practices” survey) include methodology notes describing how the data was collected.
- Articles list a publish date and a last-reviewed date so you can judge currency.
- Where AI tools assist drafting, a human editor reviews every claim before publication.
4. Affiliate and advertising disclosure
Timedecimal.com does not currently participate in any affiliate or referral programs. We do not earn a commission when you click an outbound link to a third-party tool.
We display advertisements on tool and article pages via Google AdSense. Ads are served by Google based on your interests and browsing context; we don’t pre-select advertisers. Ads are clearly labeled and visually separated from editorial content.
5. External links
We link to third-party websites for sources, citations, and further reading. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.
6. Errors and corrections
If you spot a mistake — in a formula, a calculation, a regulatory citation, or anywhere else — please report it via the contact form. We correct verified errors promptly and credit reporters in our internal changelog.
7. No warranty
The service is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. See our Terms of Service for the full warranty and liability language.
