Your break at clock-out

If your rostered shift has an unpaid break and you didn't record one (or recorded under 5 minutes), clocking out asks about it. The question depends on how your workplace pays clocked time (see How clocked time is paid in Workspace settings):

Your workplace pays What you see Your choices
Clocked time Did you take your 30 min break? Yes, I took it records the break. No, I worked through pays it, and your manager sees that
Clocked time, less the rostered break Your 30 min break will be taken off OK, or I worked through it, which pays it for your manager to confirm
Rostered hours Nothing Your roster is paid, so your break doesn't change your pay

Nothing is asked if you went home before half the rostered shift was done (the break wasn't due), or if you recorded a break of 5 minutes or more. A break a few minutes short, like 28 of 30, still counts as taken. Cancel (or Back at a kiosk) leaves you clocked in. The same question appears at the kiosk, with big buttons.

Forgot to tap Start break and the question didn't appear? Ask for a correction with the right break (see Fix a clocked-in time).

Example: Leo was rostered 7:00–3:00 with a 30 min break but was too busy to tap Start break. At clock-out he's asked Did you take your 30 min break? He did, so he taps Yes, I took it, and 30 minutes come off.
