What 0700 means on a shift

The 7-to-3 day shift is one of the most common rotations in nursing, policing and manufacturing: 0700 to 1500 is 8 hours, with the break arrangements varying by employer. In retail and food service, 0700 is a typical opening prep time. On a timesheet, a 0700 start with a 30-minute unpaid lunch and a 1530 finish is 8 paid hours.

The mistake people make with 0700

7 AM is rarely confused with 7 PM in practice, but on a timesheet the usual slip is writing 700 and leaving the reader to guess. 700 could be 7 AM, 7 PM, or a count of something. 0700 is unambiguous. The evening seven is 1900.

0700 is 7:00 AM, spoken oh seven hundred hours. It is the start of the 7-to-3 shift, the time of the school run and the beginning of the morning commute. It is also the last military hour with a leading zero before the numbers that people find familiar, 0800 and 0900.
