How to create break policies?

Setting up a well-managed break system isn't just good for business – it's good for the whole team.

See how EasyTeam makes it easy to get started with breaks:

Creating Break Types

➡️ As an admin, go to the Settings page in EasyTeam.

➡️ Choose Time tracking & breaks from the menu.




➡️ In the Break Types section, click Add new break to create a new break type



➡️ Choose your break configuration:

Break name: Choose a descriptive name like 'Lunch break' or 'Bio Break'.
Type: Choose Paid or Unpaid. These will reflect differently on the staff member's timesheets.
Duration: Choose a type in minutes for the break. You can later choose to limit the break time to this exact duration or let the staff members end a break early.
For every: Specify how frequently this break can be taken by each staff member.
Assign to locations: Select which specific locations offer this break type, or choose 'All locations' to apply it everywhere.
Mandatory: Show a warning for staff members who do not take this break during their shift. This is useful for compliance purposes.
Set as default: Mark this checkbox to have this break available on all future shifts. Otherwise, you'll have to allow it on specific shifts in the Schedules screen.

➡️ Click Save

Your staff members will now see this break option on their Shopify POS time clock during active shifts.
