Configure Unpaid Lunch Break

To set up an automatic deduction of a 30-minute unpaid lunch break (0.5 hours) from the daily work hours of civilian employees, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Admin Panel

   • Log in to the scheduling system
   • Go to the Admin Panel section

2. Access Shifts & Coverage

   • Under the Admin Panel, locate the "Shifts & Coverage" option
   • Click on "Shifts & Coverage"

3. Edit Standard Shifts

   • In the Shifts & Coverage section, find "Standard Shifts"
   • Click on the Standard Shift you want to modify

4. Adjust "Hours Paid" Setting

   • In the Standard Shift details, locate the "Hours Paid" field
   • Reduce the "Hours Paid" value by 0.5 hours to account for the unpaid lunch break

For example, if the regular shift duration is 8 hours, set the "Hours Paid" to 7.5 hours to deduct the 30-minute unpaid lunch break automatically.
