Break reduction
Breaks are automatically deducted from any day where the total shift duration exceeds 6 hours for staff over 18, or 4 hours and 30 minutes for staff under 18. The time deducted for a break is taken from the Break Reduction field in HR Settings. Break duration for an individual day can be edited from the Staff Scheduling screen on the staff member's profile.
  1. Once a staff member's total shift duration for a day exceeds the hours mentioned above, a break will be automatically added in the all-day row at the top of the calendar (e.g.  30m Break).
  2. Double click on the break to edit it.
  3. Enter the break duration, in minutes, into the Duration field
  4. Click Update.
