Works with Attendance

The Break System integrates with the Attendance module. Employees must have an active check-in to start a break.

Installation​

Enable via Admin Panel​

  1. Log in as administrator
  2. Navigate to Settings > Addons
  3. Find Break System and click Enable
  4. Run migrations if prompted

Enable via Command Line​

php artisan module:enable BreakSystem
php artisan migrate

Usage​

Taking Breaks (Mobile App)​

This module is used through the mobile app:

  1. Employee must have an active attendance check-in for the day
  2. Tap Start Break in the mobile app
  3. The system records the break start time
  4. Tap Stop Break when returning
  5. The break end time is recorded and duration is calculated automatically

If the employee already has a running break, tapping the break button will stop it. If no break is running, it will start a new one.

Mobile-Only Feature

The Break System does not have a web admin panel. It operates entirely through the mobile app API. Break records are linked to the employee's attendance log and can be viewed through the attendance system.
