Breaks on shifts
See the project break policy, register unpaid breaks on create and at verification, and know what belongs under Company (ORT schemes).
Outcome
You recognize paid vs unpaid break policy, fill unpaid break fields correctly (5-minute boundaries), and soft-link project settings and ORT without editing schemes here.
Who it's for
Planner / admin
Prerequisites
- A project with unpaid break policy so the fields appear
- Permission to edit shifts (and verify for the approve modal)
Steps
- Open Shifts with client and project selected: URL params `?client=` and `?project=` (not clientId/projectId). Above Add New Shifts, the break policy banner appears: unpaid shows default minutes and threshold (from X-hour shifts); paid states that unpaid break registration is not used on shifts.
- Unpaid project: the create table shows an Unpaid break column; Add shift / edit shows inline break fields (duration and/or start–end window; ORT projects often use a time window). Break times and duration sit on 5-minute boundaries. Below the threshold, unpaid break does not apply. Paid project: break fields and column stay hidden: change the project policy to unpaid first (Business → Projects) if you need unpaid registration.
- Quick View shows breaks read-only (badge/summary). On Approve Verification you can still adjust the break before approval. If the shift is already on a non-draft invoice, the break is locked: correct via dispute, not normal edit.
- Billing: unpaid break overlap is excluded from billable time before holiday/ORT multipliers; you do not edit ORT schemes here. Soft-link: project policy → Projects tutorial (`md-projects`); schemes → ORT (`md-irregularity-schemes`); invoice line ORT later in invoicing depth.
- Next in this cluster: verify through to the Invoice Queue. During captures, do not submit create/edit: open the banner and modals only to show them.
