How to Define an Unpaid Break

Here are the steps to define an unpaid break:

Step 1. Navigate to “settings” and select “Contracts”

Step 2. Enter the contract and navigate to the “Breaks” section.

Step 3. Tick the box on the left side to set the current break rule as default. Enter the number of shift hours for which you want break hours deducted, and enter the period to be deducted as a break.

For instance, if an employee’s total shift time is greater than 8 hours, you can deduct 0.5 hrs as the break time.

Once the report is run, we see that the employee worked for 8.5 hours, with a break of 0.5 hours. Therefore, after deducting the total break time, the number of hours to be paid will be 8.0 hours.
