Break length validation

The break length validation checks the length of employee breaks when they punch back in for work. Long breaks are rejected. This validation uses some unique conditions, which require additional configuration.

Depending on your system configuration, you will use either a reader configuration in WFM or the settings.conf file on the server to configure validations.

See Configuring the clock.
