With Deputy Break Policy, managers will save time to avoid manual break compliance — no more carrying the rules from your head or spreadsheets. And breaks compliance are proactively planned upfront, cutting payday rework — while break pay continues to flow through the existing Pay Rate Engine.

What's New

• System Admins can self-serve creating and customising break policies via Business Settings → Scheduling
  • A list of pre-configured break policies tailored to accounts' regions will be surfaced upfront for an easy start.
• Each policy defines 
  • Required breaks by shift length - eg. 6h+ shifts need 30 mins unpaid break + 2 *10 paid breaks.
  • Break windows (optional) — ensure breaks from being taken within a set number of hours of the start or end of a shift.
  • Assignment to locations/areas , or special cohorts via Rule Group for employees under certain age to define different breaks between Minor and Adult employees.
  • Enforcement setup when a violation occurs — Warn (managers can review and override) vs. Hard block (saving is prevented entirely).
• Breaks are auto-loaded into the Add Shift Popover when a manager clicks + in Schedule View.
• Breaks auto-update when a shift's area, assignee, or duration changes.
• Breaks are auto-validated on save — firing a warning confirmation or blocking the save, per the enforcement setting.
