An unpaid break rule can be configured to apply multiple breaks during a shift. The table below shows examples of the differences in outcomes depending on the option selected in the Insufficient Shift Duration Condition field when the unpaid break rule is configured to apply a maximum of two breaks during a shift. In each case, it is assumed the rule is configured to apply one 30-minute break after 3.5 hours. In each case, it is assumed that the unpaid break rule is configured such that the second break begins 3.5 hours after the end of the first break (i.e. the Exclude Break Duration option applies).
