No whole minute lands on 0.34, so it never comes straight off a punch clock.
Just over a third of an hour
0.34 runs 0.4 minutes past a third of an hour, which a hundredths clock stores as 0.33. Quarter-hour rounding does not stop at either value: it carries 0.34 on to 0.25.
Worth at your hourly rate
0.34 hours × $20.00/h = $6.80
