Automatic lunch breaks in SimplySub help subcontractors reduce manual time card adjustments by applying lunch records to qualifying employee shifts automatically.
What this Feature Spotlight covers
The video walks through the employee settings used to control how automatic lunch breaks work.
- How to enable Automatic Lunch Breaks from Admin Settings
- How to set the minimum shift length required before a lunch is applied
- How to choose the length of the automatic lunch break
- How the maximum shift gap helps SimplySub determine whether separate punches belong to the same shift
- Where automatic lunch records appear in employee time cards and punch records
Why it matters
Crews do not need to create a separate lunch punch every day. Once the feature is configured, SimplySub can apply the appropriate lunch record based on the shift rules you choose.
The minimum shift length helps prevent lunches from being added to short shifts, while the maximum shift gap helps distinguish between punches that belong to one continuous shift and punches that should be treated separately.
Built to stay simple
Automatic lunch breaks are configured from one set of employee settings. Choose your shift requirements, lunch duration, and gap tolerance, then SimplySub uses those rules when processing employee punches.
Applied lunch records are shown with a lunch time code, making it easier for office teams to review employee time without adding the same adjustment manually each day.
