Understand the logic
You have time ranges and corresponding break deductions:
Hours Worked (C2)
Break Deduction
4:00 – 5:59
15 minutes
6:00 – 7:59
30 minutes
8:00 – 8:59
60 minutes
9:00 – 11:59
90 minutes
You want D2 = C2 - break.

Correct Excel Formula:
=IF(AND(C2>=TIME(4,0,0),C2<=TIME(5,59,0)), C2-TIME(0,15,0),
IF(AND(C2>=TIME(6,0,0),C2<=TIME(7,59,0)), C2-TIME(0,30,0),
IF(AND(C2>=TIME(8,0,0),C2<=TIME(8,59,0)), C2-TIME(1,0,0),
IF(AND(C2>=TIME(9,0,0),C2<=TIME(11,59,0)), C2-TIME(1,30,0),
C2))))

Make sure C2 is in time format (e.g., [h]:mm if it can exceed 24 hours).
TIME(hours, minutes, seconds) works the same on Mac.
