Breaks

Breaks are started and ended in the phone app — the same place you clock in.

1. 1

   Tap Start Break

   On the Active Shift card on Home, or on the Check in tab, tap Start Break. The big timer switches to break time and your shift stays open.

2. 2

   Tap End Break when you're back

   Tap End Break to go back on the clock. If your location uses an NFC tag, hold your phone against the tag to end the break — the same tap you use to clock out.

3. 3

   Check My Day Log

   Below the timer, My Day Log lists your shift and every break, with times and lengths.

Admins set how long breaks should be and whether they're deducted.

• Scheduled break length — set Break Minutes on a shift in Schedules. The field only applies to shifts of 6 hours or more, and pre-fills from Locations → your location → Scheduling → Default break duration (minutes).
• Settings → Scheduling → Breaks (needs the Scheduling module on):
  • Add scheduled breaks when clocking out — off by default. When on, a scheduled break that wasn't taken is added to the timesheet at clock-out.
  • Breaks are paid — off by default. When on, break time is never deducted and worked hours include it.
  • Don't deduct break time for short shifts — on by default, with Minimum hours for break deduction set to 6 hours.
  • Display warning for shorter or missed breaks — on by default. Adds Missed break, Short break or Break ended early flags to the timesheet.
• Locations → your location → Timesheets → Break rounding — turn on Round break time up to scheduled duration so a break shorter than the scheduled one is recorded at the full scheduled length.
