Another question is how does one computer hours
and minutes past midnight?

That's already built into my formula. This is the portion that does that:

MOD(B1-A1,1)

And then multiplying by 24 converts it for display as a decimal value:

MOD(B1-A1,1)*24

A1 = 11:00 PM
B1 = 7:00 AM

=MOD(B1-A1,1)*24 = 8

Thank you for your help. Another question is how does one computer hours
and
minutes past midnight? I currently am using the following formulas in
three
different cells which deals with time only.
=(StartTime-INT(StartTime))*24
=(EndTime-INT(EndTime))*24
=TEXT(EndTime-StartTime12,"0.00")

Try something like this...

A1 = start time
B1 = end time

=IF(COUNT(A1:B1)=2,MAX(MOD(B1-A1,1)*24,5),"")

I am making a time sheet that has the punch in and out times. An
employee's
work day is a minimum of 5 hours or greater. For an example: an
employee
works 3 hours, they received 5 hours credit. I have a cell that has
the
total hour's work and another cell with their hourly pay. What is the
formula to make the total day's hour cell not less than 5 hours?
