What is a break rule?

A break rule creates an automatic deduction from a timecard depending on the number of hours worked.

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 amended to suit your brand by contacting the customer success team by clicking on the help centre icon in the bottom left hand corner of your screen and dropping us a message.

Actions that affect break rules

Break rules are set up so that certain actions will take precedence over them.

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.
