Adding Unpaid Breaks

Overview

In Astalty you can schedule unpaid meal breaks to ensure accurate award interpretation. In this page, we'll outline how to create an unpaid break, including the requirements for participants to clock in and clock out and how the approval process works.

Creating an Unpaid Break

To create an Unpaid Meal Break, head to the Schedule page and click "Add Shift". Then click the "Unpaid Break" option.

Unpaid Breaks will then appear on the Schedule as shown below.

Important Considerations

• Unpaid breaks will need to be clock in and out of just like any other shift. However they will be automatically clock in and out when an adjacent shift is clocked out or in.

• Unpaid breaks will need to be approved but will be auto approved in line with your auto approval thresholds.
