Employee break tracking with built-in compliance.
Break tracker
Compliant break tracking out of the box.
- Your state's break requirements come pre-loaded—just review and customize as needed.
- Track every paid and unpaid break automatically as employees clock in and out, keeping accurate records of time worked.
- Catch missed breaks and timesheet discrepancies before running payroll to avoid paying the wrong amount.
Break log
Track breaks from anywhere with digital logs.
- Whether on-site or in the field, your team clocks in and out of breaks from their phone or tablet time clock, so every break is tracked in real time.
- Automatically notify employees when it’s time to take and return from breaks.
- Employees can log or waive a missed break at clock-out—no need to chase them down later.
- Block early clock-ins from breaks, keeping you compliant and your team well-rested.
- Log meal break waivers digitally, so if a break is ever disputed, you have a timestamped record.
Employee break tracking
Breaks that feed right into payroll.
- Automatically subtract unpaid breaks from shifts to get a more accurate picture of labor costs.
- If employees go over their paid break time, we’ll count the additional minutes as unpaid to keep labor costs on budget.
- Add the required additional premium pay if a mandatory break is missed to stay compliant with your state’s labor laws and break penalties.
