You can choose to hide shift breaks where are displayed to employees:
- My Schedule (shift information)
- My Timecard page (shift information in the Schedule column)
- My Calendar page (shift information on the Events and Requests tabs)
- Cover, open, self-schedule, and swap shift requests (shift information)
When you hide breaks from the employee's display, the displayed shift retains its original length, but the end of the first shift segment or the start of the second shift segment is increased by the duration of the break configured for the shift. For example, given a shift comprised of regular and transfer segments with a 30-minute break such as this:
- 7:00am-12:00pm Regular
- 12:00pm-12:30pm Break
- 12:30pm-5:00pm Transfer
The adjusted segments displayed to the employee will be either this:
- 7:00am-12:30pm Regular
- 12:30pm-5:00pm Transfer
or this:
- 7:00am-12:00pm Regular
- 12:00pm-5:00pm Transfer
This behavior also applies to shifts that are comprised of two transfer segments, each of which has different properties.
When the original shift has two regular segments and a break, the resulting shift is displayed as a single regular segment.
Settings to hide breaks
You use two settings to hide breaks from the employee's display:
- The Hide Shift Breaks Access Control Profile (ACP). If set to Allowed, shift breaks are hidden from the employee's view wherever shift information is displayed. See Employee ACPs for more information.
- The global.hiddenBreaks.transferSegmentBehaviour system setting determines which segment will be extended to account for the break's duration. See Global Values System Settings for more information.
Note: These settings do not affect the display of breaks in areas of the application accessible to managers and administrators, such as the Schedule Planner. They affect only the employee's display.
