schedule worksheet help

[swest]

I have a schedule worksheet that I am trying to improve.
In the top row I can put in the start and end time of a shift (example 9:00 AM in 1st cell and 5:00 PM in adjacent cell).

The cell below calculates the amount of hours the staff member is schedule with the following formula (=((C18-INT(C18))*24)-((B18-INT(B18))*24). This works fine.

The problem I have is, I have not perfected a way for this formular to take off the break time for the staff member. Our company policy is anything 5 hours and over requires an unpaid half hour break. How can I include a formula into the one above to take off a half hour on anything 5 and above? Can someone solve this puzzle for me?

Try something like this...
<br /><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><colgroup><col width="25px" style="background-color: #E0E0F0" /><col /><col /><col /></colgroup><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;text-align: center;color: #161120"><th></th><th>B</th><th>C</th><th>D</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">17</td><td style=";">Start</td><td style=";">End</td><td style=";">Hours</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">18</td><td style="text-align: right;;">9:00 AM</td><td style="text-align: right;;">5:00 PM</td><td style="text-align: right;;">7.5</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";border: 2px solid black;border-collapse:collapse;padding: 0.4em;background-color: #FFFFFF" ><tr><td style="padding:6px" ><b>Worksheet Formulas</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" width="100%" rules="all" style="border: 1px solid;text-align:center;background-color: #FFFFFF;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120"><th width="10px">Cell</th><th style="text-align:left;padding-left:5px;">Formula</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th width="10px" style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">D18</th><td style="text-align:left">=(<font color="Blue">C18-B18</font>)*24-IF(<font color="Blue">(<font color="Red">C18-B18</font>)*24>=5,0.5,0</font>)</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table><br />

Format the cell with the formula as General or number.
