Breaks

Breaks

What are breaks?

A "break" refers to the setup enabling employees to record their periods of absence from work, typically for rest or other personal reasons, within a structured framework.

Configuring breaks

To configure breaks, navigate to Settings > Attendance > Configuration > Break. Click on Add Break.




  1. Specify the name of the break, color code, and icon.
  2. Choose Pay Type. Choosing Paid would mean that breaks are included as payable hours along with paid work hours.
  3. Specify a mode:
    Automatic: Breaks are credited when a user has a check-in before the break period and a check-out after the break time. For automatic mode, ensure that at least a one-time interval is configured.
    Manual: In manual mode, when intervals are not specified, a user can opt to go for a break whenever they want. However, when intervals are specified, a user can only opt to take breaks within the specified intervals.
  4. Specify the start and end times.
    Manual mode can be configured either with or without intervals. Multiple time intervals can be configured for a manual break (using the Add Range option).
    When the "Automatically mark breaks based on check-in and check-out entries" option is enabled in manual mode, breaks are credited when the user has at least one check-in and check-out before and after each break interval.
  5. Set duration: Duration is the maximum amount of time a user can be on break.
    For automatic breaks, the duration is automatically calculated from the start time and end time.
    For manual breaks, the duration is manually set.
  6. Configure the applicable shifts.
  7. Click Save.
