Enter the name to describe each break 

Duration 

 

Length of break time

Note: When user clocks out for break, they cannot clock back in early; end break button is disabled until break duration is met.

Interval (time from clock in to break time)

Interval is the amount of time that has elapsed from the clock-in time to scheduled break time. 
Example:

  • Paid break interval is 2 hours. User clocks in at 10 a.m. Paid break is at 12 p.m. 
  • Unpaid break interval is 4 hours. User clocks in at 10 a.m. Unpaid break is at 2 p.m. 

The interval time is applied as follows: 

  • Clock out for paid break (i.e., rest break) 
    • The interval time for the next paid break is based on the time the user clocks in from a paid break
      • Based on the example, if the user clocks back in from break at 10:10 a.m., their next paid break is 2 hours later at 2:10 p.m. 
    • The interval time for their unpaid break is not affected; the interval time from initial clock-in is still honored.
      • In the example, their unpaid break remains at 2 p.m. 
          
  • Clock out for unpaid break (i.e., meal break)
    • The interval time for the next paid break is based on the time the user clocks in from an unpaid break
      • Based on the example, if the user clocks back in from an unpaid break at 2:10 p.m., their next paid break is 2 hours later at 4:10 p.m.
      • The next scheduled time for a meal break is 6:10 p.m.

Additionally, when a user clocks out of their job, this resets the time for the active breaks, whether they are paid or unpaid breaks.

Alert (intrusive)

Amount of time prior to break for alert message to display on the user's device (iPad)

  • User: Alert will appear as a pop-up on the user's device (intrusive)
    • Ignore - Tap to dismiss the alert message; user can continue to work
    • Time Clock - Tap to go to the Time Clock to clock out for break
