If your state requires employees to take breaks during shifts—or if you’d like more accurate time tracking—Dripos offers built-in break management features to help you stay compliant and organized.

What Are Break Types?

Break types in Dripos let you define specific break durations that employees can select during their shifts. You can create:

Paid breaks: The employee remains on the clock during the break.

Unpaid breaks: The employee is temporarily clocked out.

These break types can be customized to fit your business’s policies or legal requirements.


Create Break Type

To enable employees to start a break using the Dripos time clock, you’ll first need to create at least one break type in the system.

1

On the Dashboard navigate to Team > Breaks > Create Break Option

2

Enter the break time, the duration of the break in minutes, and indicate if the break is to be paid. Press the Add button to save.

3

View and edit existing breaks on this page. Any break listed here can now be used with the Time Clock.


Start & End Breaks
