Questions

Are my builder entries sent to Due Form?

No. The builder uses them in your browser to make the workbook on your device.

Information is sent to Due Form when you submit a form or use another service described on the How it works page.

How the utilities work

What about the night the clocks change?

On the night the clocks change, start and finish times alone give an overnight shift one hour too many or too few. Switch on Hours without times and enter the actual duration.

Can I see hours for each type of shift?

Yes. The Summary has a By type of work block showing hours and the number of rows for Early, Late, Night and the others.
