You can write each time in whichever way is natural. Use 1:30:00 for hours, minutes and seconds, 2:15 for hours and minutes, or 1h 20m 30s with letters. Put a plus or minus sign in front, or put each time on its own line to add them. The result is shown as hours:minutes:seconds, in plain words, as decimal hours for timesheets and invoices, and as total minutes and seconds. Totals can go beyond 24 hours, and a negative total is shown with a minus sign.
