This activity is used to define flexible break rules which can be linked to employees through the day type. Employees connected to a rule will be allowed to have one or more breaks in a day provided that the day type does not have break intervals already defined. That is, employees can clock out and clock in several times within a day to have breaks.
Flexible break rules are controlled by two separate variants. If you use the Break on Intervals variant, the employee is required to register the break within the work hours specified. If the Break on Work Hours variant is used, the break hours allocated are calculated similarly by considering the work hours specified for each break, but the employee can register the break at any time in the day. That is, all the breaks registered by the employee are summed and compared with the total breaks that are allocated for the day.
