Breaks and paid hours
How paid hours, time on shift and the totals are worked out.
| Figure | How it is worked out |
|---|---|
| Time on shift | From start to end, in real time — clock changes included. |
| Paid | Time on shift minus the unpaid break. |
| Hours this week / paid (totals) | The paid hours of every shift, except shifts whose type does not count as hours. |
Types that do not count
A shift type has a Counts as hours worked setting. Turn it off for things like Off, annual leave or sick: they still show on the calendar, but stay out of every total and are skipped by Today’s countdown.
Break rules
- A break must be shorter than the shift. Otherwise: The unpaid break has to be shorter than the shift.
- Breaks are entered in steps of 5 minutes.
- A shift type can carry a usual break, which fills the form when you pick that type.
