If a schedule has been broken into multiple records due to shift boundaries or splitting records at midnight, break time will be proportionally applied to each record.NOTE:

| If you apply break time in excess of the actual length of the schedule, when calculating Billing or Payroll the hours will simply be reduced to zero. Breaks will never cause negative hours to be billed or paid. |

Caregiver Recorded BreaksCaregivers can use the HomeTrak Companion mobile app (iOS and Android) to record the actual times of breaks taken. To record a break, the Schedule must be already "Clocked In" and not yet "Clocked Out". The options to start or end a break will then appear in the TimeCard menu or options beside the "Clock Out" option. Caregivers will only be able to record breaks for the Break categories that are attached to the Call Type/Service in the Agency Office Module. If there are no Break categories attached to the Call Type, the options to record breaks will be hidden in the mobile app. |

The other schedules all have varying amounts of break time applied. Note that in all cases the configuration of the Rate Type remains unchanged - to credit 16 hours for a 24 hour Live-In, as this is still used in calculating the final amount from the pay hours and rate, that is, the Live-In rate will still be based off an expected 16 hours.
