Breaks

Easyteam provides flexible break management capabilities that adapt to various business requirements and compliance needs.

Break Configuration#

Organization administrators can define different types of breaks to match their business needs. Each break can be configured with specific attributes such as duration, whether it's paid or unpaid, and if it's mandatory.
For example, you might set up a standard 30-minute unpaid lunch break alongside shorter 15-minute paid rest breaks.

Break Enforcement#

When breaks are marked as mandatory, Easyteam helps enforce compliance by tracking whether required breaks are taken. The system can warn managers about missed breaks or shifts that exceed maximum working time without appropriate breaks.

Breaks Review#

Managers can verify break compliance through the Timesheet screen, where they can review break patterns and identify potential issues.
During payroll processing, break times are automatically factored into wage calculations. Paid breaks are included in working time, while unpaid breaks are excluded, ensuring accurate compensation.

Administrative Control#

Users with the ORGANIZATION_ADMIN permissions can:
Create and modify break types
Set break durations and payment rules
Configure mandatory break requirements
Adjust break settings per location
Monitor break compliance across the organization

Real-World Example#

Consider a retail business that requires:
One 30-minute unpaid lunch break for shifts over 6 hours
Two 15-minute paid rest breaks for shifts over 8 hours
Easyteam can enforce these rules while providing flexibility for different situations. Managers receive alerts about missed breaks, and payroll calculations automatically handle the different break types correctly.
WARNING
Break configurations should align with local labor laws and company policies. Our team can help you set up break rules that meet your compliance requirements.
