Meal Waiving

You can configure the Dayforce Clock Pro or Clock+ so that employees can record the number of meals that they waive during their shift. When this functionality is configured, employees can waive their right to meal breaks that they were entitled to but didn’t take, which might make them eligible for a pay premium. You can configure Dayforce so that employees aren’t paid premiums for missed meal breaks if they waived the meal.

When this functionality is enabled, employees can waive their meals when they clock out for their shift.

To enable meal waiving:

1. Go to Site Setup > Clock Configuration.
2. In the Device Type drop-down list, select Dayforce Touch / Pro or Clock+.
3. In the second drop-down list, select Unified.
4. Select a clock configuration group.
5. Copy the following tag from the config file to the override config file, in the <functions id="functions"> section:
6. Copy

   <function id="out_meal_waiver" key="" punchtype="Punch_Out" icon="shift_end" />

7. Note: This function tag has additional attributes that aren’t listed in the XML above. Further, the attributes differ slightly for the Dayforce Clock Pro and Clock+.
6. Edit the attributes in this tag. For more information about these attributes, see Function Configuration.
7. Save your changes, and then validate and publish.
