Overview

Scheduling breaks allows you to communicate with your team when they should take their breaks directly within their shift.

If you are out and on the go, breaks can also be added from your iOS device or Android device. They can also be saved into any new/existing Shift Templates!

Considerations

  • Break times cannot overlap with one another
  • Break start times must exist within the time of the scheduled shift
  • Total break duration cannot exceed total length of the scheduled shift
  • Multiple breaks can be added; up to 100 per shift

 

Steps to add a break

 

  1. Click the [+ Add a Break] button
  2. Add the length of the break
  3. Choose whether the break is considered paid or unpaid
  4. Set the optional start time of the break
  5. Click Add Break to save this break in the shift
