Can you track breaks using Square Timecards?

Hey guys,

We are thiking about using the Timecards feature. However just realizing that I don't see a way for employees to take a lunch break? This is a pretty fundamental feature of a timeclock service. Pretty surprised it is not there. Am I missing something?

Break tracking is now live!

Hey @PetGroomer ,

Thanks for reaching out.

While we still don't automatically convert paid break overages to unpaid, it sounds like you may be experiencing a separate issue. You should definitely be able to edit the start and end time of breaks. I'd recommend contacting Square Support for further troubleshooting. You can reach our Support by entering in your customer code at [Redacted]. 

Definitely let me know if you run into any issues getting this resolved!

I got it figured out.  Thank you.

I'm facing the same problem where the overage on the break is not automatically adjusted as being unpaid. Currently, the overage on the break is being considered as paid time. It seems like this was on the pipeline to be fixed 2 years ago and is still not done. Why? This is a critical feature and without it, makes the whole time keeping product useless in my opinion. Fix it!!

Hi @macharya,

Thanks for reaching out. Totally hear you on the importance of this functionality. The good news is that the team is currently working on adding this functionality to our timecards product. Happy to keep you updated, as well as include you in any early access program we rollout for this feature, if interested.
