You can schedule break categories such as lunch or coffee break in Labor Management. Breaks are defined and configured within the Payroll Administration page and can be of any duration (for example, 30 minutes) and be paid or unpaid, depending on what suits your organization.
Break rules can be assigned to any location and can be automatically or manually entered into the scheduling application. You can assign a break rule to be available for manual scheduling so that when the scheduling manager creates the following week’s schedule, the break rule is available to enter into the employee’s shifts. If the break rule is configured to assign automatically, then the break rules will be applied when the scheduling manager generates the automatic schedule.
By law, employers are required to ensure that employees are given breaks at specified times during their shift. If these breaks are not taken, or are taken but not within the time that has been defined by law, a serious fine can be levied against the employer. Use of this function can help control this situation.
