⏱️ Splitting time entries for adjacent work areas
When employees work adjacent shifts in separate work areas, reporting can be inaccurate if they don’t clock out and back in between shifts.
Example:
An employee is scheduled:
09:00 - 10:00: Training
10:00 - 12:00: Kitchen Work
If the employee clocks in at 09:00 and clocks out at 12:00, the system only creates one time entry, which is linked to the Training work area.
New Functionality:
With the new feature, when the employee clocks out, time entries are automatically split to match the actual work areas:
Clock-in - 10:00 > Training 10:00 - Clock-out > Kitchen Work
The setup must be activated by a Strobbo employee.
Once activated, you can configure the settings according to your preferences.
📍 Configure this via Settings → General.
Always: splits the time entry based on time only.
09:00 - 10:00 > Kitchen - Training
10:00 - 11:00 > Kitchen - Stove
11:00 - 12:00 > Dining room - Cleaning
Disabled: never splits a time entry.
09:00 - 12:00 > Kitchen - Training
Only when the workspace changes:
splits based on time and location difference.
09:00 - 11:00 > Kitchen - Training (takes the first location)
11:00 - 12:00 > Dining room - Cleaning
Only when the work area changes:
splits based on time and work area difference.
09:00 - 10:00 > Kitchen - Training
10:00 - 11:00 > Kitchen - Stove
11:00 - 12:00 > Dining room - Cleaning
⏱️ Automatic break adjustment for Split Time entries
When an employee takes at least one break during their shift, the system checks if the breaks need to be adjusted according to the split time entry settings in General Settings.
Example:
An employee works:
09:00 - 10:00: Training
10:00 - 12:00: Kitchen
With breaks:
09:45 - 10:15
10:45 - 11:00
Initially, the system places all breaks in the first time entry:
09:00 - 10:00 > Training
09:45 - 10:15 > Break
10:45 - 11:00 > Break
10:00 - 12:00 > Kitchen duty
This causes breaks to misalign with the actual work periods.
After Adjustment:
The system splits and reassigns breaks to the correct time entries:
09:00 - 10:00 > Training
09:45 - 10:00 > Break
10:00 - 12:00 > Kitchen duty
10:00 - 10:15 > Break
10:45 - 11:00 > Break
The first break is split between the two time entries.
The second break is reassigned to the correct work period.
Here, the first break is split between the two time entries, and the second break is moved to the Kitchen duty entry.
