Hi we use the break button as a mini note section on the calendar next to clients appointments, I was hoping you could make an edit in adjusting the default duration in the break button. It is defaulted at 30 minutes and we're hoping to have an option to make it defaulted to 10 minutes instead.

It would be good to have it saved in the breaks so all we have to do is select it and it has the perimeters saved. (10 minute, paid, Retail/Rebook)

I know we can back space "break" and type what we want but it could be really nice to allow up to set up and save a couple preset options

As there is not a way of making a reminder/note on the calendar we use breaks to leave ourself reminders such as go to post office or mop floor etc. This makes payroll very time consuming as we have to click into every single break to see if its paid or unpaid. Here is how i was advised that the breaks work by phorest. You need to be careful your staff are not being underpaid or over paid depending on if the break is ticked paid or unpaid and also if its in the rostered hours or outside their rostered hours.

Breaks Outside Roster:

I can confirm that if a paid break is created outside of rostered hours, it will be included in payroll hours.⁠⁠ Here's how breaks work in payroll calculations:

Unpaid breaks outside rostered hours: These don't affect payroll hours and won't be included in wage calculations⁠⁠

Paid breaks outside rostered hours: These will count toward payroll hours, even though they're outside the scheduled shift time⁠⁠

This means if you're using breaks for notes/reminders outside rostered hours and they're marked as paid, they will add to the total hours worked for payroll purposes. To avoid this affecting payroll calculations, we would suggest marking these reminder breaks as unpaid.
