Have you or your employees noticed that breaks are automatically removed from their timesheets, or that the time taken doesn't match the time displayed on the timesheet? This means that you've activated break automation settings.
You can easily confirm your settings and modify them if necessary.
Important: Only administrators can confirm and modify these settings. If you aren't an administrator, contact one for further support.
Click on Settings from the left navigation menu.
Click on the Attendance submenu.
Scroll down to the Automation section.
Under Break management there are two options you can activate that affect employees' breaks.
Automatically add planned breaks to timesheet if recorded breaks are too short or missing
If this setting is activated, the full scheduled break will be deducted if the employee does not clock in at all or does not clock out in full.
For example, if the employee had a 30-minute unpaid break scheduled and clocks 23 minutes, the system automatically adjusts the duration of the break on the timesheet to remove 30 minutes.
Automatically add an unpaid break to timesheet after a set number of continuous work hours
If this setting is enabled, the specified duration is automatically deducted after the set number of consecutive hours.
Example: If the setting specifies a 30-minute break after five hours, all employees who have clocked in a shift lasting five hours or more will have a 30-minute unpaid break deducted automatically.
