Automatic Break Time Deduction

​At ClickTime Australia, the Automatic Break Time Deduction feature streamlines timesheet accuracy by applying pre‑set break rules without manual edits. You can configure deductions for all days, selected days, or based on total hours worked — tailoring settings per site to meet state regulations, site conditions, and company policies. Once applied, these rules automatically reflect in new shifts, ensuring consistent compliance and reducing administrative overhead.
