Meal Break Length Checked

Introduction

In your Time Sheet Manager settings, you can determine the minimum length required for a meal break. This is used to enforce a minimum break in Time sheet entry.

This is then checked when the Time Sheets are batched and processed to be sent on to your payroll system.

Meal Break Length Checked

When the Time sheets are approved, processed or batched, the break duration for a Time Sheet is checked.

If the break length on the Time Sheet is less than the minimum break length, a warning is displayed and the Time sheet cannot be approved, processed or batched until this has been corrected.

• Go to Time Sheets > 1st Approvals.
• Enter the Period and any other selection criteria you want and Time Sheet entries for your selections will appear below. Select the User you want to approve for.
• Tick to select the Time Sheets that you wish to approve.
• Click Approve selected.

If the Break Duration on the Timesheet is less than the minimum break duration set in the Time Sheet Manager Settings, you will see a warning message like this:

Minimum break duration requirement of [00:30] for time sheet user [PERSON-NAME] on [4/02/2022] was not met.

The Time Sheet must be amended to correct the break duration, then re-submitted.
