Day-to-day use
How are breaks, split shifts and night work handled?
A day can include several time slots and several breaks. Breaks are unpaid with clocking, and paid or unpaid in fixed schedules. After midnight, hours are counted on the day they are worked.
- Clocked breaks: they are always deducted from working time. A day correction cannot create a paid break.
- Paid breaks: they exist only in fixed schedules, where you define whether a break is paid or not.
- Split shifts: a shift from 11:00 to 14:30 then from 18:00 to 23:00 gives two time slots. The gap between them is not counted as working time.
- After midnight: the work is recorded as is, with no re-entry. With actual clocking, hours after midnight are counted on the day they are worked: a shift from 18:00 to 00:40 counts 18:00–24:00 on the first day and 00:00–00:40 on the next day, in the reports, the payroll export and the inspection file. The weekly total remains accurate. A fixed night schedule (end marked “next day”) and a manually corrected day remain a single time slot on the start day.
The legal classification of time (working time, break, on-call duty, etc.) is a matter to discuss with your social secretariat.
