Learn how to record a Shift Break

How do I record an Shift Break?

To begin recording an Shift Break, simply open a Shift and then click the Manage Shift Breaks button at the bottom of the screen to bring up the dialogue box.

Once selected, you can create a new break by selecting the + New button on the right hand side of the screen, as shown below.

Once you have added a new Shift Break, you will be prompted to populate a number of fields detailing the break. Here, you can assign the relevant Date & Time information, the relevant Resource(s), the break category and write custom notes.

In order to maintain the parameters of an Shift, Maica will not allow you to create an Shift Break outside the Date or Time of the Scheduled Shift. You also must assign a Category in order to submit a Note.

Shift Break Actions

1. Create Corresponding Timesheet

Within an Shift Break, you can choose to create a corresponding Timesheet. You do so by simply clicking the toggle, as shown below.

If the Timesheet is created, it must be assigned a Timesheet Activity.

The Break will be stored as an Unavailability record against the allocated Resource.
