What 1700 means on a shift

If you started at 0800 with an hour's lunch, or at 0900 with lunch inside the day, 1700 is when you clock out. It is also when the evening rush begins, when many stores switch from day to evening staff, and when a lot of appointments are the last of the day. A 1700 clock-out against an 0800 clock-in is 9 hours on the clock and 8 paid.

The mistake people make with 1700

The common error is on the way in: writing 5 PM as 0500. The leading zero means morning. 5 PM is 5 plus 12, which is 17. On the way out, 1700 is five, not seven; the seven is part of seventeen.

1700 is 5:00 PM, spoken seventeen hundred hours. Seventeen minus twelve is five. It is the end of the 9-to-5 and 8-to-5 day, the start of the evening commute, and the hour that appears on more clock-out records than any other.

Worked examples

1700 to standard
17 minus 12 is 5, PM: 5:00 PM.
5:00 PM to military
5 plus 12 is 17: 1700.
The 8-to-5 day
0800 to 1700 is 9 hours on the clock. With a 1-hour unpaid lunch, 8 paid hours.

How it is calculated

1700 is 17 minus 12, which is 5 PM. 5 PM is 5 plus 12, which is 1700.
