Break Tracking Software for Shift Teams
Break tracking software for shift teams: paid and unpaid breaks, mandatory rest enforcement, shift photo proof and audited time edits. Free trial.
Breaks are where payroll quietly leaks — unpaid minutes paid, mandatory rests skipped, edits nobody can explain. Chegatta tracks every break, proves every shift, and audits every correction.
Every Minute Accounted
Break start & end
Workers tap break-start and break-end on phone, browser or kiosk. Paid and unpaid break rules apply automatically per company and site.
Mandatory rest enforced
Meal breaks, daily rest and weekly rest rules are monitored continuously — violations surface before they become fines.
Net hours, not gross
Overtime, night premiums and Sunday rates calculate on hours actually worked — breaks deducted correctly, every time.
Shift photo proof
Optional photo capture at clock-in ties the right face to the right shift — evidence that ends "that wasn't me" disputes.
Audited time edits
Managers can correct records, but every edit is logged and the employee is notified. Corrections stay honest by design.
Alerts before payday
Missing break-ends, impossibly short breaks and unapproved edits flag in the anomaly inbox — fixed before the payroll run, not after.
How Break Proof Works
- 1Worker taps break
Break-start records time, and where relevant, position. The shift timer pauses according to your paid/unpaid rules.
- 2Rules watch silently
Mandatory durations, maximum stretches without rest and site-specific policies are checked as the day unfolds.
- 3Payroll uses net truth
Approved runs calculate from break-adjusted hours. Photos, timestamps and edit history travel with the record as evidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do employees have to photograph every break?
No. Photo proof is optional and typically used at clock-in. Breaks themselves just need a tap — proof without friction.
Can managers edit a forgotten break-end?
Yes — and the edit is audit-logged with before/after values, and the employee is notified. Forgotten taps get fixed; silent rewriting is impossible.
How are unpaid breaks handled in overtime?
Unpaid break minutes are deducted before any overtime, night or Sunday calculation runs. You never pay premiums on time nobody worked.
