Summary

Clock Breaks are rules that can be applied when an employee clock swipes their Break time. For example, a rule could be something like:

“All breaks between 11:00 and 14:00 are 30 minutes long with a 3-minute “grace” period for employees who clock in late”.

• If an employee clocks out for only 18 minutes, then 30 minutes is deducted from the worked time.
• Similarly, if an employee clocks out for 33 minutes, then PayGlobal would only deduct 30 minutes from the worked time.
• However, if an employee clocks out for 37 minutes (which exceeds the Break and Grace time periods), then PayGlobal would accept the 37 minutes and adjust using Anchoring or Rounding rules.

When to use

Use Clock Breaks for employees who clock in and out for their Break times.

The following fields need to be completed:

Between: This Clock rule applies from this time

And: This Clock rule applies until this time

Force Break To: The length, in hours and minutes, of the break time

Grace Minutes: The “minutes” after which the employee will be considered as being late. These “late” minutes will be deducted from the total time worked.
