Concept of dynamic break deduction in Time Sheet.

Before 1811

• Only “fixed breaks” are possible in EC Time. Fixed breaks are defined in the workschedule with fixed clock times like for example from 12:00 – 13:00.
• When an employee starts work on 11:00 the break gets generated already after 1 hour of working time.

After 1811

• A break gets automatically generated after a configured duration of working time has passed.
• For example: break deduction of 30 minutes after 6 hours of working time and another 15 minutes after 9 hours of working time.

Configuration Steps and the working of this feature:

• Configure the field 'dynamic-break-config-code' in the job information portlet via Admin Center -> Manage Business Configuration.

• Provide permission to the field via Manage Permission Roles.

• Navigate to Manage Data -> Create new 'Dynamic Break Configuration'. The configuration below means that after 6 hours of working time, there must be 30 minutes of break. Additionally if the total working time exceeds 7 hours, then there must be 60 minutes of break (including the 30 minutes for the 6 hours worked).

• Assign the object to the job information field configured 'dynamic-break-config-code'.

• Refer the work schedule, where there is no scheduled breaks configured.

• In the Time Profile, make sure the Main Break Time Type is filled.

• Scenario 1: In employee's Time Sheet UI, the working time is set for a duration of 6 h 30 minutes, which means that there should be 00:30 minutes of break and therefore the additional break of 00:30 minutes gets automatically generated.

• Scenario 2: An additional working time of 1h 30 minutes is recorded. Which means that total working time is 7h 30 minutes ((06:30 + 01:30)-00:30 break time)), which exceeds 7:00 hours as per the dynamic break configuration, so additional 00:30 minutes are added (so in total the break time is 00:60 minutes).

 

• Scenario 3: Similarly while adding an absence, the break time is deducted from the total duration selected. In the below example, the duration is 6h 30 minutes (8:00AM to 2:30PM) but since the dynamic break configuration is set to have a compulsory break of 00:30 minutes after 6:00 hours of working time, the Requesting field shows only 6:00 hours as requested.

Note:

The calculation of the deduction quantity is only done for full day absences. Part day absences are not considered.
