Overview

The paid break reporting feature allows users to report that they have taken all of their required paid breaks during their shift. If the user did not take their paid breaks, they can leave a note explaining why the breaks were missed for the employer’s records. Timesheet exports will highlight any missed breaks on the Breaks tab of the export.

Paid break reporting can be especially useful for your workplace if, in states like California, laws require people to take and record their paid breaks.

Considerations

• Your account’s plan must include Attendance.
• Users must report on their breaks before clocking out.
• Users must be clocked in for 3.5 hours before the paid breaks question is asked upon clock out.
• Exempt users are not asked to record paid breaks upon clock out.
