Starting Breaks

To record when you start breaks:

  1. Press Break. The clock reader’s light changes to orange and the following message is displayed:
    Start break
    Enter ID
  2. Specify your ID, swipe your badge, or scan your proximity badge.
  3. If your WB5500 Series Clock has been set up for fingerprint verification, place your finger on the scanner when prompted.

    When your punch is successful, the WB5500 Series Clock beeps twice, the light beneath the keypad flashes green, and the message Break started followed by the current time is displayed. You are now punched out for your break or meal.

    When your punch is unsuccessful, the WB5500 Series Clock beeps three times, the light beneath the keypad flashes red, and the invalid ID message is displayed. The clock reader does not recognize your ID or badge. Try punching again using these tips:

    • Ensure that you are specifying your ID correctly.
    • Ensure that you are swiping your badge properly.

    If you receive the same error message, contact your supervisor.
