What is a break rule?
A break rule creates an automatic deduction from a timecard depending on the number of hours worked. Break rules in Nory also contribute to accurate time reporting, cost management, and shift scheduling, ensuring operational efficiency.
The default break rule in Nory is
15 minutes deducted for a shift of over 4 hours worked
30 minutes deducted for a shift of over 6 hours worked
Break rules can be customised to align with your organisation’s needs. For instance, admins can designate breaks as paid or unpaid and establish custom rules, replacing the default settings.
Actions that affect break rules
Break rules are set up so that certain actions will take precedence over them. Additionally, they integrate seamlessly with cost calculations, ensuring that labor expenses accurately reflect active work durations.
GM or manager amendments to timecards.
Managers with the correct permissions can update unpaid break times. To do this navigate to timecards amd click on the unpaid break time and select the tick to confirm the change.
Employee clock in/out times
If an employee clocks out and back in for a break then the amount of time they were clocked out for replaces the automatic deduction.
