The best way to track break time is with time tracking software. By using break tracking with time tracking software, you will make the process of recording the break time easier and faster for your employees. WebWork not only simplifies break tracking but also makes it automated. Every time an employee stops working, the tracker will ask whether they were on a break and require them to select from assigned break policies. This eliminates the need for manual entries, streamlines reporting, and ensures you always have accurate, real-time data on downtime.
What is break tracking in time tracking software?
Break tracking is a feature in time tracking software that records when employees take breaks, their duration, type (paid or unpaid), and policy compliance. It ensures you have accurate data on work and rest periods for better team oversight and legal compliance.

How do break policies work in WebWork?
In WebWork, break policies define rules for break types (e.g., lunch, coffee), duration, and whether they are paid. You can assign different policies to different teams or individuals. The tracker automatically prompts employees based on these policies to ensure consistent and compliant reporting.
Does WebWork automatically detect breaks?
