Including breaks in your staff's pay reports

If you're tracking staff costs or generating payroll reports you may find the need to deduct unpaid breaks from staff shifts. Rather than splitting the shift into two parts, it's now easy to have Findmyshift deduct the break automatically by simply adding a break item beneath the shift. A break item is just a comment in the format "1 hour break" or "30 minutes break". It can be any amount of time you like, eg. "1.5 hours break" or "90 minutes break".

Break items can also be used in combination with overtime rates. So if you've already added a overtime rate beneath your shift, you're free to place the break item above or beneath the overtime rate.

Type any number followed by "hours break" directly beneath the shift you wish to deduct the break from.

Any breaks entered on the schedule will be deducted from the actual hours and actual costs on the budget report.

Similary, the hours report will deduct any breaks from the hours and costs of the shift.
