Automatic Breaks Feature
Are you looking for a way to accurately keep track of your employees breaks? The Automatic Breaks feature will deduct time from an employee’s time card if the specifications you setup are met. Add as many break rules as you need to ensure that your employees break times are properly accounted for.

Why use the Automatic Break Rule feature?
Buddy Punch was created as an employee attendance app that would replace the need for physical timesheets. As we worked with more business owners and expanded our own team, we began to add more features to make our time clock system more effective for workforce management. One of the features we realized would be helpful was one that could reduce labor costs by holding workers accountable for time spent at work, off the clock.
The Automatic Breaks feature of this digital time clock lets Buddy Punch take over managing the amount of time employees work, giving Administrators and Managers room to focus on other aspects of their small business or enterprise. From lunch breaks to smoke breaks or more, you can decide how you want to enforce breaks that will give your employees time to return to work recharged.
We will automatically apply the correct break rule to each employee in real-time, based on your specifications. Save money each pay period by ensuring that employee hours sent to payroll processing no longer include break times.
Buddy Punch is available on iOS and Android as a mobile app, or you can use the web-based browser to make use of this time clock software from anywhere with an internet connection.
Other Features
We know how important it is to have a robust set of features and functionalities to help you better manage your employees and their time. We pride ourselves on offering many features that are not provided by several other time tracking systems.

Duration Entry
If you have salaried employees and want to have them enter their total amount of hours worked per day, then the Duration Entry feature can help you achieve that. The feature can be setup on a per employee basis so you can ensure your salaried employees will be able to take advantage of the duration entry while your hourly employees can still punch in and out. The duration entry feature is also useful if you are wanting to track the time spent on a particular client.
