Break policies with warning

Break policies labelled with warning trigger a notification if the defined requirements are not met. The notification is sent by email and in the account to the affected user, the department head, and the administrators.

Break policies with automatic break deduction

Break policies without the warning label are automatically deducted from the recorded time entries at the end of the day, based on the defined requirements.
