You can configure the Clock+ to prompt employees to report their breaks and meals when they clock out to end their shift, instead of performing clock entries as they take them. This functionality is meant for employees who take meals or breaks (or both) during their shifts but can’t perform clock entries because they work remotely or too far from the clock. It can also be used for employees whose meals or breaks aren’t scheduled but still need to be recorded.
To configure this functionality, update the out_mb_prompt entry in the custom config file and configure the following attributes as required:
<breaks>: When set toyes, employees are prompted to record breaks along with the clock entry that ends their shift.<meals>: When set toyes, employees are prompted to record meals along with the clock entry that ends their shift.<break_start_1>and<meal_start_1>: Sets the first “common” start time for breaks and meals that employees can select instead of entering a time. The common time is specified in the 24-hour time format.- By default, this is set to 10:00 for breaks and 13:00 for meals.
<break_start_2>and<meal_start_2>: Sets the second “common” start time for breaks and meals that employees can select instead of entering a time. The common time is specified in the 24-hour time format.- By default, this is set to 12:00 for breaks and 15:00 for meals.
<break_duration_1>and<meal_duration_1>. Sets the first “common” duration for breaks and meals that employees can select instead of entering the duration of the break or meal.- By default, this is set to 15 minutes for breaks and 30 minutes for meals.
<break_duration_2>and<meal_duration_2>: Sets the second “common” duration for breaks and meals that employees can select instead of entering the duration of the break or meal.- By default, this is set to 30 minutes for breaks and 45 minutes for meals.
