​
When to use this

Use a day break rule when the break depends on total hours worked across the day, including multiple shifts. For example, deduct a 45-minute break when total day hours are greater than 6 and less than 12.

​
Before You Start

Open or create the Smart Formula from Smart Formulas > Configure. Break removal rules do not create pay items or payslip lines. They only deduct time from generated Smart Formula lines.

​
Example Setup

The day total must be greater than the minimum and less than the maximum. A 6-12 range applies to day totals over 6 hours and under 12 hours.

​
Worked Example

Day breaks are deducted from the highest line number first, then the highest sub-line within that line.

Test the Example

Before publishing:
  1. Open Smart Formulas > Simulate.
  2. Add split shifts on the same day.
  3. Add examples below, inside, and above the day-hour range.
  4. Click Run Simulation.
  5. Confirm the break applies once to the total day, not once per shift.
