Common Challenge

Only tracking lunch? You're overpaying.

Most timesheet systems only have one "break" field. It's usually called "Lunch." But employees take multiple breaks.

Clock in:9:00 AM
Clock out:5:00 PM
Total time:8 hours
Lunch break:-30 min
Morning coffee:Not tracked
Afternoon break:Not tracked
Paid hours:7.5h ❌
(Missing ~30min of breaks = overpayment)
The fix

Track every break, get accurate hours

Clock in:9:00 AM
Clock out:5:00 PM
Total time:8 hours
Morning break:-15 min
Lunch break:-30 min
Afternoon break:-15 min
Paid hours:7.0h
(All breaks accounted for = accurate pay)

UK law requires break records

Under the Working Time Regulations 1998, employers must keep records showing workers are getting their entitled breaks.

20-minute break
Required if working more than 6 hours
Records kept for 2 years
In case of inspections or disputes
Proof breaks were taken
Not just "assumed" or "policy says so"

Penalty: Unlimited fines for failing to keep adequate records. Each affected employee counts as a separate offence.

Why track all breaks?

💰

Stop overpaying

Pay for hours worked, not hours at work. Untracked breaks = thousands in overpayment per year.

⚖️

Legal compliance

Meet UK Working Time Regulations. Have proof that breaks were taken if HMRC or tribunals ask.

📊

Accurate job costing

Know true labor costs per project. Don't count break time as billable hours.

🎯

Fair to everyone

Employee who takes two 15-min breaks shouldn't be paid the same as someone who takes none.

🛡️

Dispute protection

Detailed break records protect you if employees claim they weren't given breaks.

✅

Simple for employees

Optional field. Add extra breaks if needed. Don't need to? Leave it blank.

Stop leaving money on the table

Track every break.
Pay for hours actually worked.

Multiple break tracking included on all plans. Free trial, no credit card required.
