Time Categories and Blocks

Explore the different time management categories and how to effectively use time blocking to increase productivity and organization in your daily routine.

Extra and special hours

Time categories and blocks are now configured in the Time Tracking Policy. Please refer to the relevant articles:

  • Special Hours – Configure hours worked during specific time slots or days (e.g. nights, weekends, bank holidays). These are created from the Time Tracking Policy.
  • Extra Hour compensation – Set up overtime compensation rules and conversion factors. These are created from the Time Tracking Policy.

 

Breaks

Breaks are managed in two steps: first you create the break category in Time Categories, then you configure and activate it in the Time Tracking Policy.

Step 1. Create a break type in Time Categories

Before breaks can be used in any policy, you need to define the break type:

  1. On your sidebar, go to Settings → Time
  2. Click on Time Categories
  3. Scroll down to Break types
  4. Click New break type
  5. In the modal that appears:
    • Enter a name for the break
    • Choose the type: Paid break or Unpaid break
  6. Click Save

Break types cannot be deleted — they can only be archived. Archiving is irreversible and the name cannot be reused.

 

 

Step 2 – Enable and configure breaks in the Time Tracking Policy

  1. For full configuration details, see About breaks.
