The break rule feature in the project settings is a simple and efficient tool that automatically deducts time from a worker's timesheet.
Things to consider before applying break rules:
- Break rules will impact all workers within the project.
- The default setting is "none."
- Option to customize break time rules as needed.
- The duration of the break time is shown in minutes.
- The rules will take immediate effect once they are set up.
Set up a Break Rule
The break time rule functionality is enabled and configured in the Project Settings.
Step 1. Go to project > click on the three bar icon in the upper right corner > "Project Settings"
Step 2. Scroll down to "Time Rules" section and click on "Add Rule"
Step 3. Fill in the required blank spaces as needed.
- From/To: Set the work time required before the automatic break rule triggers.
- Break time: It indicates the duration of the break time in minutes
- Click on the blue icon to save.
*Add as many break rules as needed.
For example,
A worker worked from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., which means his shift was 10 hours. The system will automatically consider his time and assign him a 30-minute break, reducing the total time for the shift.
