Breaks

You can now create and manage breaks. This new feature allows administrators to define Breaks as either paid or unpaid.


Key Features:


Customizable Break: Admins can set up multiple types of breaks, such as lunch breaks, tea/coffee breaks, etc. to ensure that all employee needs are met.




Paid Breaks:

  • The time spent on these breaks is considered part of their working hours.

  • For example, if an employee takes a 30-minute paid break, they will still be paid for that time as if they were working.


Unpaid Breaks:

  • The time spent on these breaks is not considered part of their working hours.

  • For example, if an employee takes a 30-minute unpaid break, they will not receive payment for that time, and it will be deducted from their total working hours.



How to do it?


  1. Tap on > ‘Settings’ in the top right corner

  2. Tap on > ‘Manage Breaks’ and further tap ‘Add Break’

  3. Now you will be getting the following options:

  1. Break Name: You may name the break (e.g., Lunch Break, Tea/Coffee Break, etc.)

  2. Break Type: Choose Paid or Unpaid, as explained above



Some important insights:


Additional Button: When breaks are set up for the company, staff members will see an additional button after they Punch In. This new button allows them to start a break or punch out.


Starting a Break: Once punched in, staff can choose to either start a break or punch out. This provides flexibility in managing their break times.

In: Employees who have punched in and are currently in the office.

Out: Employees who have punched out and left the office.

No Punch-In: Employees who have not punched in, indicating they are on week-off/holiday or leave.




Some important insights:


1. How do you calculate the late coming hours?

We calculate late hours by subtracting the shift start time from the time the employee punches in. If there are multiple late arrivals, we add them up. For example, if an employee punches in at 9:30 AM for a 9:00 AM shift and again at 6:45 PM for a 6:00 PM shift, the total late time is 30 minutes + 45 minutes = 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes).



2. How do you calculate early leaving hours?

Early leaving hours are calculated by subtracting the punch-out time from the shift end time. It's similar to calculating late coming hours but for leaving early.



3. How do you calculate overtime hours?

Overtime hours are calculated by subtracting the required full-day hours from the total hours worked. This shows the extra time worked beyond the regular shift.
