You want to define scheduled and unscheduled break times, such as lunch, tea breaks, or short intervals, for your employees within SalaryBox. Configuring breaks ensures that punch-in/out calculations account for these intervals automatically. This helps maintain compliance and provides accurate work-hour reports.
Customizable Breaks #
Admins can set up multiple types of breaks to meet various employee needs, such as:
- Lunch Break
- Tea/Coffee Break
- Any other custom break types
Types of Breaks #
Paid Breaks #
- Time spent on a paid break is counted as part of the employee’s working hours.
- Example: If an employee takes a 30-minute paid break, they will still be compensated for those 30 minutes.
Unpaid Breaks #
- Time spent on an unpaid break is excluded from total working hours.
- Example: If an employee takes a 30-minute unpaid break, that time will be deducted from their working hours, and they will not be paid for it.
How to Set Up Breaks #
- Tap on Settings (top right corner of the screen)
- Select Breaks
- Tap on Add Break
- Fill in the following fields:
- Break Name: Enter a name for the break (e.g., Lunch Break, Tea Break)
- Break Type: Choose either Paid or Unpaid
Once saved, the break type will be available to employees within the system.
Employee Experience #
- Additional Button After Punch-In:
When breaks are enabled for a company, employees will see an extra option after punching in. - Starting a Break:
Once an employee is punched in, they can either:- Start a break

This setup provides employees the flexibility to manage their break timings while ensuring accurate attendance and payroll processing.
