Break Rules must be associated to a location. When an employee clocks out, the rule can be configured to prompt the employee for a reason for the clock out. These prompts can be applied toward paid and unpaid breaks, depending on how the organization wishes to configure the Break Rule.
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.
