Additional Information

This is the second step to ensure employees can record their breaks and waive if required. 

Employees who voluntarily waive their break will sign these forms when they clock out at the end of their shift. Note that Break Waivers is only available on the Push Time app.

If your employees sign a yearly waiver and do not require signing a transactional waiver each time, we recommend creating a Form for this waiver so employees can complete it during one of the following: Employee Onboarding, HR Employee Task, or a form submission via the Push Time app. 

Once an employee completes the Waiver Form, you can enable it under their Employee Profile: Upload Files - Pre-signed Break Waiver Setup so the system does not trigger the transactional waiver.

Push Support cannot advise or adjust any break setup in the account. If you are in a US State with regulated breaks, we strongly recommend contacting an attorney who works on Labour Laws to ensure you follow the most up-to-date regulations. 

Please note that only Super Administrators can change the Break Waivers Setup.

The California Break Compliance feature is currently available on the Premium Subscription.
