What 1600 means on a shift

0800 to 1600 is exactly 8 hours, which makes 1600 one of the cleanest clock-out times on a card. Offices on an early schedule, schools after extra-curriculars and tradespeople who started at 0700 or 0800 are all finishing around now. The afternoon commute builds from 1600 to 1800.

The mistake people make with 1600

1600 is 4 PM, and 0400 is 4 AM. The slip people make is in the other direction: converting 4 PM and writing 0400, because the four is what they see. PM hours add twelve. 4 plus 12 is 16.

1600 is 4:00 PM, spoken sixteen hundred hours. Sixteen minus twelve is four. It is the end of the 8-to-4 shift and, in a lot of places, the end of the business day for anyone who started early.
