What this report shows

Breaks lists the meal and rest breaks recorded during the selected dates. Each row shows the employee, break type, category, pay, start and end times, duration, job, and who recorded it.

The Recorded by column shows:

  • Employee — the employee started the break in Clockspot or at a kiosk.
  • Manager — an admin added the break to a time entry.
  • Auto-deduct — Clockspot added the break when the time entry met that break type's automatic deduction rule.

An open break has no end time. Its duration continues through the time the report is loaded. Break rows keep their recorded start, end, and full duration. Summary time counts only the portion inside the selected dates.

Filters

Use the date range, employee, break type, category, pay, and recording method filters to narrow the rows. Archived break types remain visible on the breaks that already used them.

Totals

The summary shows the number of breaks, total time, paid time, unpaid time, open breaks, automatic deductions, and employees with a matching break.

Exporting

Open the export menu and choose Download CSV, Download Excel, or Download PDF. Exports use the same filters and totals as the report.

What this report does not decide

This report shows what Clockspot recorded. It does not decide whether a break was required, missed, late, or compliant with a law or workplace policy.

Common questions

Where can I correct a break?

Open the employee's time entry on Time entries, then edit, add, or archive the break there.

Why was a break added automatically?

The break type has auto-deduct turned on, and the time entry reached its configured threshold without that break being recorded manually.

Does an unpaid break reduce worked hours?

Yes. Paid breaks stay in worked hours. Unpaid breaks are subtracted from worked hours.
