Common Mistakes to Avoid
Forgetting to subtract unpaid breaks
Fix: If your lunch break is unpaid, enter its length in the Break Minutes field. Otherwise your paid hours will be overstated.
Entering break in hours instead of minutes
Fix: The break field expects minutes. A 30-minute lunch should be entered as 30, not 0.5.
