Minimum Break

Description	Adds a positive break adjustment to a shift over a minimum number of hours, for all minutes of a break that are less than the minimum break requirements.
Example(s)	If it is determined that a break lasted less than the specified length of time, the amount of time that actually was spent on break is added to the employees hours. If a 15 minute break is the configured length of time for a break, but an employee only takes a 10 minute break, they are awarded an extra 10 minutes of work time.
Parameters	Parameter	Description
	Minimum Break Length	Minimum length of time that a break must last.
	Minimum Hours Worked	Minimum number of hours that must be worked before the adjustment can be applied.

Minimum Daily Hours

Description	Adds a positive adjustment to the last shift in a day, for all hours that are less than the minimum daily hours. This work rule supports three rounding thresholds, allowing managers to set up varied minimum hours for different scenarios without needing separate rule items. Note: To prevent conflicts, ranges cannot overlap.
Example(s)	Single range If an employee works for 3 hours and the minimum daily hours is 3.5, a 30-minute adjustment is added to the employee's shift. Multiple ranges Example scenario—Click to expand. Range 1: Minimum Daily Hours: 4.00 Minimum Hours Worked to Qualify: 0.00 Range 2: Minimum Daily Hours: 9.50 Minimum Hours Worked to Qualify: 4.01 Range 3: Minimum Daily Hours: 14.00 Minimum Hours Worked to Qualify: 12.50 With the specified parameters above: For employees who work less than 4 hours, the rule will round their hours to 4. For employees who work more than 4 hours but less than 9.5, the rule will round their hours to 9.5. For employees who work more than 12.5 hours but less than 14 hours, the rule will round their hours to 14.
