Well, you can take the hour, multiply by 60, then add the minutes to get minutes after midnight. But how on earth does comparing the start times of two jobs help you know when one is hung? And why worry about the start times of jobs started via cron anyway?
If want to detect a job that runs longer than 15 minutes, just use a shell wrapper:
I am familiar with using the 'date' command to get the current date but I have a situation where I need to get the previous day's date as well as the date two days prior.

atrun
ATRUN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual ATRUN(8)NAME
atrun -- run jobs queued for later execution
SYNOPSIS
atrun [-l load_avg] [-d]
DESCRIPTION
Atrun runs jobs queued by at(1).
Root's crontab(5) file /etc/crontab has to contain the line
*/5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun
so that atrun gets invoked every five minutes.
At every invocation, atrun will start all the jobs in the lowercase queues whose start time has elapsed. In addition, if the load average
over the last minute was less than the specified limit then a maximum of one batch job (denoted by the uppercase queues) is started.
Before starting a job, atrun will check the status of its owner's account with pam(3) and refuse to run the job if the account is unavail-
able, e.g., locked out or expired.
OPTIONS -l load_avg
Specify a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs should not be run, instead of the default of 1.5 * number of active CPUs.
-d Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of using syslog(3).
WARNINGS
For atrun to work, you have to start up a cron(8) daemon.
FILES
/etc/pam.d/atrun pam.conf(5) configuration file for atrun
/var/at/jobs Directory containing job files
/var/at/spool Directory containing output spool files
SEE ALSO at(1), crontab(1), pam(3), syslog(3), crontab(5), pam.conf(5), cron(8)BUGS
The functionality of atrun should be merged into cron(8).
