How it’s worked out
The finish is earlier on the clock than the start, so the shift crosses midnight: (7:00 + 24:00) − 21:00 = 10:00. On the night clocks change for daylight saving it is an hour shorter (spring) or longer (autumn); the hours calculator can adjust for that.
A single 10-hour day is not overtime under federal law, which counts only hours over 40 in a workweek. In California, Alaska and (for lower-paid workers) Nevada, paid hours over 8 in a day earn 1.5×; see overtime rules by state.
