How the Time worked without a break condition works
Overview
The Time worked without a break condition matches portions of time that occur when the employee works for longer than a configured period without taking some form of break.
The configuration includes the threshold for hours, as well as whether to assess whether to check only the period prior to the first break in this shift, or all breaks.
