Hi there, @btconcrete.

 

In QuickBooks Time, you can comply with the updated California break rules by adding a new break rule. Please note that only admins have the ability to set up and manage break rules. If you are not an admin, you can reach out to your admin to have a break rule added.

 

Here’s how to add:

 

  1. In QuickBooks Time, go to Feature Add-ons, then Breaks.
  2. Select + Add Break Rule.
  3. Choose whether the break is Paid or Unpaid.
  4. Determine if you want the break to be an AUTOMATIC BREAK, MANUAL BREAK, or both.
    (We recommend you consult a labor and employment attorney in your country before using automatic breaks. If your company is in the U.S., you may also want to check the US Dept of Labor’s website and your state’s labor laws.)
  5. Hit Save once done. Note that when you add and save a new break, it is automatically enabled.
     

You also have the option to add a new break rule using your QuickBooks Online account.
 

If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to reply to this thread.
