Previously, users could only enter breaks that were either categorised as paid or unpaid and not a combination of the two. Because of compliance and auditing purposes, businesses need to record both. By default, when an employee record breaks in their timesheets, the break duration is automatically deducted from paid hours unless the business has created a rule to pay employees for all breaks. By enabling the paid break feature, employees will be able to record both paid and unpaid breaks in timesheets and ensure they are paid accordingly.
This new feature will be made available to:
· Businesses that have time and attendance enabled on their subscription plan; and
· In timesheets that have start/finish times (as opposed to entering units/hours)
automatically switched on for eligible businesses. Rather, users will need to select the new setting "Enable employees to include both paid and unpaid breaks in their timesheet" which is available in the Payroll Settings > Timesheets screen
To facilitate this new feature for our integration partners, we have updated some of our existing APIs, as follows:
· The following new properties have been added to GET/PUT
/api/v2/business/{businessId}/timesheetsettings
"allowPaidBreaks" (boolean)
"hasMaximumPaidBreakDuration" (boolean)
"maximumPaidBreakDuration" (int32)
· A new "isPaidBreak" property has been added to the associated roster shift and timesheet API endpoints.
These updates will not break existing APIs and so can be added at your earliest convenience and where/if necessary.
