hourlyPay.js

A simple node.js script for hourly paid workers that calculates how much you already earned today.

Usage

node hourlyPay.js HH:MM mm

• HH:MM describes the time (HH = Hours, MM = Minutes) when you checked in at your workplace.
• mm describes how many minutes of break you did today (lunch, etc...)
• default checkin time is 09:00 and default break time is 30 minutes -> these will be used when no arguments are passed

Examples (with a hourly rate of 13€)

• With no passed arguments (default for checkin is 09:00 and default for break time is 30 minutes)

$ node hourlyPay.js 

Checkin time : 09:00 --> 9
Current time : 17:01 --> 17.02
Hours worked : 8.02 Hours
Lunchbreak   : 0.50 Hours (30 Minutes)
Work - Lunch : 7.52 Hours
Earned money : 97.76€ (7.52 x 13)

• With checkin time 13:37 and 5 minutes of break time

$ node hourlyPay.js 13:37 5

Checkin time : 13:37 --> 13.62
Current time : 17:03 --> 17.05
Hours worked : 3.43 Hours
Lunchbreak   : 0.08 Hours (5 Minutes)
Work - Lunch : 3.35 Hours
Earned money : 43.55€ (3.35 x 13)

Customization

The hourly rate can be adapted in the code: just set var moneyPerHour = XX; to whatever you earn in an hour.
The currency can also be adapted, change var currency = "€";
The defaults for checkin time and break time can also be changed, change var passedCheckInTiny = "09:00"; and var lunchBreak = 30; respectively.
