Question

Automatic breaks

I've set up an automatic unpaid break for 30 minutes once a shift exceeds 5 hours. I've assigned the break to all employees but I have some employees for whom a break is not showing on their timesheet. Does anyone know why this might be? Could employees be overriding or deleting the automatic break somehow?

Thank you for adding your first post today, RMcIntoshTREC. I can share some insights into why some scheduled breaks are not appearing on timesheets.

 

I can see that the automatic unpaid break for 30 minutes is set once a shift exceeds 5 hours. Some employees may have clocked out before completing their 5-hour shift, so breaks don't apply to their timesheets.

 

At this time, you can view their timesheets to see how much time they've worked for a certain period. 

 

  1. Go to Time Entries and select Timesheets.
  2. Choose the date range at the top, then jump backward or forward in time using < and > to view all your timesheets.

 

I'm also adding this article for more information: View total hours worked in QuickBooks Time.

 

Additionally, you can get more tips on using the break feature to track your team members’ paid and unpaid breaks throughout the day from this article: Set up and manage breaks for QuickBooks Time.
