Tracking Paid Breaks

The Universal Time Clock, models RTC1000 and SB-100 Pro, come standard with one Department that can be used to track Paid Breaks.  Tracking Paid Breaks allows you to better manage the time your employees are taking during their paid break periods.

In order to track time that an employee takes on their Paid Break, employees must transfer in to the Break department.
To transfer IN to the Break department, follow the instructions below.
Employee must already be signed IN to the employee time clock.

Steps:

1. Employee must enter their ID number (PIN) or badge, at the time clock terminal.
2. Instead of pressing IN or OUT, the employee must the press the Break/Department Transfer key on the time clock.
3. A message stating 'Going To... Break' will be displayed on the time clock.  To clock IN to Break, press the Enter key.  This will sign the employee OUT of the default Work department and IN to the Break department.

To transfer OUT of the Break department and back to Work, follow the instructions below:
    1.  Employee again enters their ID number or badge at the clock terminal.
    2.  Instead of pressing IN or OUT, the employee mus then press the
         Break/Department Transfer key on the time clock.
         A message stating 'Going To.... Work' will be displayed on the clock.  
    3.  To sign OUT of Break and back IN to Work, press the Enter key.  This will
         sign the employee OUT of their Break and back IN to their Work Department.

Why this is valuable:  You will be able to see how much time they took on their paid break.
