To schedule breaks in the "shifts" for other employees to see on the app as well

We should be able to schedule breaks when making shifts, instead of being ghetto and putting it into the "notes" sections or having employees ask every day, "what time is my break". This feature should also be visible in the teams app for all the employees to see. So all the employee know what time there break is and other team members break is. So they should also be able to switch break times with eachother as well. In case an employee wants an earlier or later break. They can go on to the app and see who has the later break and request to switch with another team member. 

 

I promise you, every single Square employee has this on their schedule. Why do we need to ask for this to be a feature is crazy!?!?!? Yall got to do better or hire better developers to make these simple changes quickly instead of these updates once or twice a year. Take all the features you have with your employees and the payroll and time schedule features you use with all your employees and add them to this. This is very common sense. Dont give us this basic payroll and time shceduling and have the top of the line for your company. Us business owners deserve better!!! We working hard just like yall. Make it a priority to make our lives easier too, so we can focus on our business. Imagine Apple did only 1 update a year? They do one massive one YEARLY and TONS of mini ones through out the year!

Hi @Macario - you can create breaks but we don't currently support the ability to schedule that break at a specific time.  Once the break is created, your team members will have the option to "Take a break" when they are clocked in.  If the break is taken, your labor costs will be reflected accordingly based upon whether the break was paid or unpaid.

We are in progress on some enhanced functionality in this area - allowing you to make breaks mandatory and be alerted to missed breaks on the timecard.

Being able to schedule breaks is still under consideration for the future.
