Clocked, Paid, Breaks

Applicable version :
2.36L and later

Summary :
The concept of a Paid, Clocked break is interesting. If he=s paid, then why clock? Principally they clock in order to ensure that the break is not too long, and that it is taken at the right time. This doc discusses the way the rules are applied to Clocked, Paid, breaks.

Technical :
If the Clk setting is Yes, Paid is Yes, and Direction is Out / In.

The following settings are available  

Start : This is the normal start time of the break window.

Finish : This is the normal end time of the break window.

Start Early : If the person goes to break before the normal start time then a warning is generated. If the person clocks out before the Start time then the person is docked to the normal Start time.

Start Late : If the person goes to break after this time then a warning is generated.

Start Grace : If a person goes to break inside the grace period then no time is docked.

Finish Early : If the person finishes before this time, then a warning is generated.

Finish Late : If the person finishes after the normal end time then a warning is generated. If the person clocks back in after the Finish period then the person will be docked from the normal end time.

Finish Grace : If the person clocks back in from the break inside the grace period then no time is docked.

Min : If the person clocks out after the Start Early, and does not clock back in before normal end time, then the Min time is added to the paid time. No warning is generated if the person clocks for less than the Min time.

Max : If the person is out for longer than this time, inside the window, then time is docked, and a warning is generated.

Def. : Has no effect.
