SIMG_OHT0610 - Determine Minimum Breaks Based on Hours Worked

Some working time regulations stipulate that minimum break times must be observed, depending on the working hours actually performed. Subschema TF20 enables you to check that the minimum break duration is observed, to report violations of the break duration, and to effect an additional break deduction.

Working time of between 6 and 9 hours requires a minimum break of 30 minutes, and working time in excess of 9 hours requires a minimum break of 45 minutes.

The term "working time" is used to mean the hours actually worked rather than the target hours in the daily work schedule.

This means that specifying fixed break schedules in the daily work schedule does not always guarantee that the minimum break duration is observed; see Evaluate break data. Furthermore, you might want to use the daily work schedule to facilitate individual interruptions of working time which are then considered break time, rather than specifying fixed breaks.

Subschema TF20 is not included in the standard schema. If subschema TF20 is included in the time evaluation schema, the regulation described in the above example is put into practice.

Such break regulations require an exact definition of the times involved. You must, therefore, perform an exact analysis of the break regulation that you require.

  1. Clarify the following:
  • How is working time calculated that is used together with limits to determine minimum break duration? (Are only actual times included? Is the period included between first starting and finally finishing work?)
  • How are times determined that can be counted as breaks already taken? (Unrecorded times, recorded absences, break times stored in the daily work schedule and already accounted using PBRKS?)
  • If the minimum break regulation is not observed, do you want the administrator to be informed? Do you require an additional break deduction?
  • How is the additional break deduction determined?

Please analyse the following situations:

  • At work: 10 am - 4:12 pm => 6.20 hours.
    Additional break deduction 0.50 or 0.20 hours?
    Make a comparison with an employee who was at work from 10 am to 4 pm and did not receive a break deduction.
  • At work: 8 am - 5:12 pm => 9.20 hours.
    Additional break deduction 0.75 or 0.20 + 0.50 = 0.70 hours?
    Make a comparison with an employee who was at work from 8 am to 5 pm.
  • At work: 10 am - 12 noon => 2.00 hours.
    At work: 12 noon - 12:15 pm => 0.25 hours.
    At work: 12:15 pm - 4:03 pm => 3.80 hours.
    Is an additional break deduction required? If so, how big should the deduction be? Examples of practical values are 0.50 - 0.25 = 0.25 hours or 0.20 hours.

In the standard version of TF20, the latter values are deducted.

  1. Include subschema TF20 in your time evaluation schema. It must be accessed after function PBRKS (or after function TIMTP if you do not use function PBRKS). The subschema is accessed by function COPY TF20.
  • The system documentation on subschema TF20 and its personnel calculation rules describes practical options for adapting this procedure.
