Enter breaks

In the Belbo calendar, you can enter breaks for your employees. During this time, no appointments can be booked and breaks are deducted in the working time statistics.

Enter regular breaks in the schedule

If an employee has regular breaks, you can enter them directly in the schedule and copy them into the future when transferring the shift times.

Application example:
Employee A has a break every Monday from 12:00 – 13:00.

Enter breaks in the schedule
Go to the schedule overview and click on the desired day to which you want to add a break.

Select the start and end time of the break in the Break tab and save the break.


Display of breaks in the schedule
Once breaks are entered, you can recognize them by the highlighted blocks which are entered in each service column of an employee.

Enter irregular breaks in the calendar

If you determine break times for each day on a short-term basis, you can enter them directly in the calendar.

Application example:
Employee B determines the most suitable break time each day depending on existing appointments and workload.

Select the desired day and drag an appointment at the break start time for the duration of the break. Then select the Break tab in the appointment dialog.
