Summary
This guide outlines the management of staff breaks in TimeDock, focusing on the distinction between paid and unpaid breaks. It explains that for paid breaks, employees remain clocked in and are compensated for this time, which is included in their total recorded hours for the day or shift. The guide details how to track paid breaks by setting up an activity code, allowing employers to monitor the duration of these breaks effectively. For unpaid breaks, the document presents two management options: staff can either clock out at the beginning of their break and clock back in afterward, ensuring accurate reporting of worked hours, or remain clocked in while applying automatic break deductions during payroll exports. This method allows for the inclusion of unpaid break durations in the timesheet hours while ensuring that deductions are made during data export for payroll purposes. The guide also references additional resources related to break deductions and timesheet exports.
