Starting and ending breaks

  1. Enter your badge number, or press Swipe Emp ID (F4) and enter your employee ID.
    Note: If identification mode for biometric validation is enabled, then only a fingerprint is required for authentication. For more information, contact your system administrator.
  2. If applicable, provide your PIN or finger for biometric authentication.
    Note: At any time you can press the clear button to return to the main badge entry screen.
  3. Press the function key on the clock corresponding to Start Meal (F2) or End Meal (F6).
    If your punch is successful, a confirmation message is displayed. Otherwise an error message is displayed. Error messages vary depending on the type of error and the configuration of the clock. These are some examples:
    • Invalid ID

      The clock reader does not recognize your ID or badge. Ensure that you are specifying your ID correctly or scanning your badge properly. Then try the punch again. If you receive the same error message, contact your supervisor.

    • It is too early to return from break or too early to start your break.

      You are not scheduled to return from your break or start your break. Contact your supervisor.
