Breaks, Paid Hours and Overtime Review

Breaks and paid hours

Timesheets subtract their recorded break minutes from the clock-in to clock-out duration to calculate paid hours. Staff can record breaks with the shift clock controls; managers should review missing or incorrect break records before approval.

Configure rounding

1. As an Organisation Admin, open Settings and find Time & Attendance.
2. Set Break Rounding Value (Minutes) and Break Rounding Method. A value of 0 disables break rounding.
3. Select Save Changes.
4. When reviewing a timesheet, choose Breaks or Both to apply break rounding. Start/Finish rounds clock times instead.

Break rounding changes total break minutes while preserving the recorded break timestamps. Review the result and use the available undo action if it needs correction.

Review extra hours and rates

Compare actual hours with the scheduled shift before approval, then review configured pay rates and penalty loadings. The current Settings page does not provide a universal automatic break-after-threshold rule or a weekly overtime-threshold calculator.

An award reference URL is a reference for your organisation's records. Confirm the applicable rates and overtime treatment through your payroll process; do not assume that linking an award automatically configures every rule.
