Thanks Adrian, I had a feeling that would be the case but just wanted to double check.
What I am trying to do is model different ranges of time in which a customer would get charged a given rate (standard, overtime, double time). The only concern I have with using a rate start time and duration is daylight saving, if a window were to begin at midnight and end at 8.30am then using an 8.5hr duration wouldn't work correctly when daylight savings starts and ends. So for me it's less important how long a window lasts but rather at what specific time it closes.
