Taking a Break

Use the Take a Break feature to temporarily pause your clock-in status.

1. From the Homescreen, tap the Time Clock button.
   
2. The Time Clock opens, displaying the Project, Task, and Cost Code associated with the time entry as well as the total time logged today. Tap the brown Take a Break button to start your break.
   
3. The Take a Break dialogue opens. Choose the duration of your break from the options, or tap the Custom button to enter a specific amount of time. Your break must be between 5 and 120 minutes. Tap the Checkmark button to proceed, or the "X" button to cancel.
   
4. The Time Clock screen now displays in "break mode," and shows the time remaining in your break. To add more time to your break, tap the Extend Break button.
   
5. The Extend Break dialogue opens. Choose the amount of time by which you wish to extend, or enter a custom time. Again, the time must be between 5 and 120 minutes. Tap the Checkmark button to proceed, or the "X" button to cancel.
   
6. The additional time will be added into the Time Remaining countdown display in the "break mode" Time Clock screen. To end your break, tap the End Break button.
   
7. You will be returned to the standard Time Clock view with options to clock out, take another break, or switch tasks/projects/cost codes.
   
   
   In your Time Card, the entry will be displayed in addition to your clock in and clock out times. Break time is excluded from the total logged time. So if you are clocked in for one hour and take a 15 minute break, only 45 minutes of your time will be counted.
