This article explains how to set this up! Break management features in Agendrix allow you to customize settings for both unpaid and paid breaks, reducing manual interventions and ensuring policy adherence.
1- Use scheduled break time
If you want to ensure that a scheduled unpaid break is deducted in full, even if it hasn't been clocked in correctly or has simply been forgotten; this process ensures that the timesheets reflect breaks accurately, even in the event of improper or missed clock-ins, simplifying payroll and scheduling.
1- Click on the "Settings" tab in the main menu on the left
2- Click on "Attendance"
3- Click on the “Automation” subcategory

Plus Plan also lets you create automatic break rules so that breaks are automatically added to your schedule!
