How to Manage Break Types

Getting There

1. Click Settings (cog icon) in the left sidebar.

2. Select Breaks from the settings menu.

Viewing Break Types

• All active break types are listed in a table showing Break Name, Length, and Payroll Status (Paid or Unpaid).

• If job costing is enabled, you may also see Use Previous Job and Default Jobs columns.

Adding a Break Type

1. Click Add Break Type.

2. Enter the Break Name (e.g. "Lunch", "Rest Break").

3. Enter the Break Length (in minutes) — must be greater than 0.

4. Choose the Payroll Status: Paid or Unpaid.

5. (Optional) If job costing is enabled:

   • Toggle Use Jobs on this Break on.

   • Toggle Use Job from previous task if the break should inherit the job from the previous clock-in.

   • Select default jobs for each job layer.

6. Click Save.

Editing a Break Type

• Click the edit icon next to any break type.

• Update the name, length, payroll status, or job settings.

• Click Save.

Archiving and Restoring Break Types

• Click the archive icon next to a break type to remove it from active use.

• Archived types are hidden by default. Toggle Show Archive to see them.

• Click Unarchive to restore an archived break type.

Tips

• Keep break names clear and descriptive — employees see these when selecting a break on the mobile app.

• Use Unpaid for meal breaks and Paid for short rest breaks, depending on your local labour rules.

• Archiving a break type does not delete historical records — past breaks still appear in timesheets and reports.
