Broken Shift Allowance

Broken shifts occur when there are two shifts on a day where the total duration is within the allowance's Broken Shift Span Less Than  Hours setting.


For example, let's look at an employee that worked two shifts 

  1. The first being from 9:00-12:00 
  2. The second being from 12:30-17:00


From this the total time actually worked is 7.5 hours, however, the span of the shifts between the is 8 hours (from the start of the first shift and the end of the second)



In the above example, the employee would get the allowance as the two shifts are within the total span, however, if the allowance's hour value was decreased to 7.5, they would no longer meet the duration requirement.
