What 1000 means on a shift

Mid-morning: coffee break on most shifts, the second meeting slot of the office day, the hour many stores see their first real customers. A 0600 start is four hours in by 1000; an 0800 start is two. If your shift includes a paid morning break, it is often scheduled around now.

The mistake people make with 1000

1000 is not ten thousand, and it is not 10 PM. 10 PM is 2200. The confusion arises because 10 is the first hour that does not change shape between the two systems: 10 AM is 1000, and people half-expect 10 PM to be 1000 too. It is not; PM hours from 1 to 11 add twelve, so 10 PM is 2200.

1000 is 10:00 AM, spoken ten hundred hours. It is the first hour of the day written without a leading zero, and the first one that reads like a familiar number, which makes it slightly easier to misread than the hours before it.

Worked examples

10:00 AM to military
1000, ten hundred hours. No zero to add; 10 is already two digits.
10:30 AM to military
1030, said ten thirty.
Morning break
On an 0600 start, 1000 is 4 hours in. A 15-minute paid break from 1000 to 1015 does not reduce paid hours.

How it is calculated

10 AM becomes 10xx with nothing added. 10xx is 10:xx AM. 10 PM is 10 plus 12, which is 2200.
