Take a lunch or break

Step away for lunch and clock back in when you return, so your break is tracked correctly.

When you leave for lunch or a break, you tell the office iPad you're stepping out, then tell it again when you're back. This keeps your break time separate from your worked time.

Start your break

  1. 1

    Tap in your PIN

    Tap your 4 digits on the number pad. Since you're clocked in, the iPad asks what you'd like to do.

  2. 2

    Tap Start Break

    Tap the Start Break button. The green screen confirms Break Started with the time. Enjoy your lunch.

Come back from your break

  1. 1

    Tap in your PIN

    When you return, tap your 4 digits again.

  2. 2

    You're back on the clock

    Because the iPad knows you were on break, it puts you straight back to work — no buttons to choose. The green screen confirms Break Ended with the time.

Your lunch is already accounted for

A standard 30-minute lunch is deducted after you clock out for break and clock back in. Punching both sides of lunch keeps your record accurate — it doesn't double-count your break.

Don't forget to clock out at the end of the day

Coming back from break puts you back on the clock — it is not the same as clocking out. When your shift is really over, tap your PIN and choose Clock Out.
