Taking a break

Stepping away? Use Take a break instead of clocking out. The app pauses while you’re on break, shows a countdown, and reminds you when it’s almost time to head back.

Click Take a break, then pick 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 1 hour. You can also enter a custom duration from 1 to 60 minutes and click Start break.
