Breaks and lunch
Updated Nov 12, 2026
While you're clocked in, you can record breaks and lunch from your time card.
In the iPhone and Android apps
- Open the Time tab.
- Tap Break (marked 15 min) or Lunch (marked 30 min).
- When you're back, tap End break or End lunch.
You can't be on a break and at lunch at the same time. The 15 and 30 minute labels are guides; the app records the actual time you start and end.
In the web crew app
Tap Start Break or Start Lunch, then End Break or End Lunch to resume your shift.
Clocking out from a break
If you clock out while on a break or at lunch, the break is ended for you at the same time.
How meal breaks are paid (for admins)
In the web app, admins set the default in Settings > Payroll > Meal breaks:
- Unpaid when fully relieved from duty (the default)
- Paid
As the setting notes, on-duty or interrupted meals still need to be paid. Your company is responsible for following the meal and rest break rules that apply to you; ask your employer if you're not sure how your breaks are paid.
Some jobs can also be set up with scheduled breaks that start and end on their own. Ask your supervisor if your job uses them.
