Overview
Employees can start and end breaks on the PAD as well as clock in and out. Configure each site's breaks for its requirements and applicable local rules.
Follow the steps below to set up and edit breaks:
-
Enable breaks before creating break types.
-
Open System Parameters > Labor Cost > Breaks in Tabit Office.
-
Select Enable, then Save.
-
-
Open Staff > Break setup after enabling breaks.
-
Choose + Add Break at the top right.
-
Provide the break name and a numeric code.
-
Start the Break Code numbering at 1 as a practical convention.
-
A Break Code is required and is not generated automatically. Enter a numeric value; leaving it empty prevents the break from working as intended.
-
-
Set the minimum duration before an employee can return from break. An early return displays a warning; attempting to finish before the duration ends produces a break-end failure notification. In an emergency, a manager can override this from Shift Manager.
-
Choose whether the break is paid or unpaid.
-
Add an internal description, which does not appear on the PAD, then select Save.
-
A saved break marked Active is available for employees to use.
