Record a Break entry when you stop working to rest.
Record a break
Tap the BREAK button on the on-duty screen.
If your previous entry was Drive, enter the odometer reading (end kms).
Confirm or edit the start time — set to now by default, or edit to a time in the past.
Confirm or edit the location — generated from your device's GPS.
Tap SAVE.
The 30-minute rule
A rest break must be at least 30 minutes to count as a valid rest break.
Break duration | How it counts |
30 minutes or more | Valid rest break. Does not count as work-time. Resets your continuous work timer. |
Less than 30 minutes | Counts as work-time. Does not reset your continuous work timer. |
Break countdown
While you are on break, the Mobile App shows your break status:
Status | Colour | Meaning |
RESUME WORK IN | Orange | Your break is under 30 minutes. Countdown shows time until a valid rest. |
GOOD TO WORK AGAIN | Green | Your break has reached 30 minutes. Your continuous work timer is reset. |
Resume work after a break
Tap DRIVE or OTHER DUTIES to resume work. There is no separate "end break" button. Starting a new entry ends the break.
Break before ending a shift
If Break is your last entry before you end the shift, the break time counts as off-duty time. Your rest period starts from when the break began, not when you tapped END SHIFT.
