Creating
a Floating Break Policy
Click on the main "Admin" navigation
tab, and then on the "Break Policies"
link located under the Policies
section of the screen.
To create a new policy, click on the [ADD] icon
located at the bottom of the screen.
- Select "Floating" from the Type
drop-down menu.
- Enter a Name
for this policy as you would like it to appear
in the system.
- Enter the Number
of Breaks Required within the break
window.
- The Required
Worked Hours is the amount of time
that must be worked before the system will
begin to check for breaks taken.
- The Time
from First Punch Duration setting allows
you to enter the amount of time from the first
punch of the day. The system will take the
first punch and add the specified hour amount
to determine the end time of the floating
break window.
- The Window
Duration adds the amount of time to
track once employees have met the worked hours
requirements. The system will take the Time from First
Punch Duration setting and subtract
the specified Window
Duration. This signifies the start
time of the floating break window.
- The Amount
is the amount of time given to employees for
this break.
- Use the Grace
setting to tell the system that the specified
grace amount will be allowed before the employee
is penalized for taking a long break.
- With the Restrict
option enabled, when an employee takes a break
longer in duration than the specified Amount and
Grace,
the employee’s Time Card hours are penalized
by the amount over.
- Use the Minimum
Hours Deduction Policy to attach a
Minimum Hours Policy to this meal. With this
setting specified the system will award hours
in the amount specified on the Minimum Hours
Policy if the employee fails to punch within
the floating meal window. No more than one
break award will be given in a single day.
Click on the [SAVE] icon to add the policy to
the system.
