Shift definitions defines the

Start-End time of a Shift

Note, the Break Schedule 002

which is 45 mintues

9 of 92

System automatically check the Shift-Definitions work time

06:00:00 to 14:00:00

to find what Break time in the Break Schedule is valid.

(in this case, Break time 1 & 2 will be used for F-11)

10 of 92

Break time 3 & 4 falls within the Start-End time of S-11, so this time is applied for the Shift automatically
