Short Break Prevention

To prevent employees from taking breaks that are too short, go to Setup > Account Settings > Time & Attendance. Check the Short break prevention box and enter the minimum length for unpaid or paid breaks.

This change prevents employees from returning from their break before the minimum length has passed. If an employee attempts to clock in before their scheduled break finishes, SuitePeople Time Clock will prevent them from punching back in and will tell them when their break is scheduled to finish.

Note:

This setting is system wide and will be applied to all Workforce Management locations and devices employees are using to time punch on.
