Must know
  • The first break type is already selected, so Start Break is usually one tap. A paid break counts toward your paid time; an unpaid break doesn’t.
  • End Break starts a new work segment on your most recent work type.
  • If your club set a time limit on a break type, the break ends on its own at the limit and you’re clocked out: clock in again.
Where to find it. Use Time Clock or the header clock. On a phone, Time Clock is under More in the bottom tab bar.

Paid breaks count toward your paid (Regular) hours but never toward overtime. Break time limits. A break type can have a maximum length. The timer shows Max and the limit, then Auto-ends in a countdown. About 30 seconds before the limit, you see Your break will auto-end in 30 seconds. At the limit the break closes: Your break was ended automatically - max duration reached. Unlike End Break, this does not return you to work. Select Clock In to start again. Left running.
