Where breaks come from#
For: Manager You’ll need: Nothing.
Breaks aren’t entered shift by shift. Shiftavo computes the break for every shift from two inputs:
The break rules for the shift’s location and length — these are the labor-law-aware rules that say, e.g., „a shift over 7 hours gets a 30-minute break“.
The person’s waived breaks, if any — individual exceptions where a person has formally waived a break that would otherwise apply.
The computed break shows up on the schedule, on the timesheet, and in payroll exports.
To configure break rules#
Go to Break rules. That’s where you create, edit, and assign break rules per location.
To set a person’s waived breaks#
Open the person under Company → People and use the ‚Waived breaks‘ section on their profile. A waived break tells Shiftavo not to deduct an otherwise-required break for that person.
Warnung
Waiving a break may affect labor-law compliance. Make sure you have the documented agreement on file before you tick anything here.
