Let staff punch Start break and End break, so the breaks they take count instead of the scheduled one.

Go to ConsoleAttendanceSettings and find Break punches.
- Switch them on for your organisation.
- Under At each site, leave a site to Follow the organisation, or choose On here or Off here.
From then on, the kiosk and Agoo Workspace offer Start break to someone who's clocked in, and End break to someone on a break.
Good to Know
- Someone on a break still counts as on site, for Today and for a roll call.
- On a day in two parts, the break they punch comes off instead of the scheduled one. On a day with a paid break, it's recorded inside the hours worked.
- Under Breaks, Take off at least the scheduled break and Flag a long day with no break decide how punched breaks count and what's flagged.
- People with the nursing hour switched on get a Nursing break of their own, paid and never taken off.
If Something Goes Wrong
- Someone clocked out without ending their break. The clock-out closes it and the day is flagged in Needs review. Select Add the End break to put it right.
- Staff don't see Start break. Break punches are off at their site, or they aren't clocked in yet.
- A break looks too long. Long and short breaks are flagged for you, but what was punched still counts. Talk to the person, or correct the punch.
