How to set up default breaks?

Automatically add a break time to your shifts as soon as they are created, based on either a fixed number of minutes or a percentage of the total shift duration.

Updated this week

From Settings > Locations & Schedules > Your location > Scheduling:

  • Enable the option: check Apply a default break when creating a shift

  • Choose how the break is applied:

    • By minutes → enter a fixed duration (e.g. 30 min)

    • By percentage → enter a percentage of the total shift duration (e.g. 10% of a 6h shift = 36 min)

  • Set the minimum shift length from which the break will apply (e.g. 4h)

  • Save your settings

💡

  • To make sure a break is always applied, set the minimum shift length to your break time + 1 minute (e.g. 21 min for a 20 min break).

  • Breaks only apply to individual shifts longer than the defined minimum.

  • The break is applied only at the time of shift creation, not when editing the shift afterwards.
