B. Rule 2: Auto deduct break time for selected days of the week

     When you select this rule, the system will let you specify which days the break time

     deduction will be applied against

     When you select this rule, the system will deduct the break time according to the

     day and length of the shift

                 

               

Break time rules for each site

On the time attendance setting, once you decide which rule of deduction is to be used, you will need to configure the rule for each of your sites.

Setting and configuring the break time rules for each site is more flexible since worksites are located in different states and each state can have it is own rules. In addition, different companies can set different break time rules for each site within the same state, depending on other factors such as type of site, location, work environment...etc

NOTE

1. Automatic break time deduction set and configured for the site will also be reflected and applied to all newly created shifts on the scheduler.  
   
2. Break time added to the scheduler is just planned and rostered break time. 

Set & Configure auto break time deduction

     Manage Automatic Break Time Deductions, then set and define the rules that best suit your business.

     

    Example: 

          1. If the employee works 4.00 hours or more, the system will deduct 30 minutes

              of break time.

          2. If the employee works 8.00 hours or more, the system will deduct 60 minutes

              of break time.

                                                                                                                  

                                                                                             

                                                                                      

Please note that the system will deduct the unpaid time break from the employee timesheet according the breaktime rules set on the site he works on. The system dose not deduct the break time as set on the roster.
