Lunch is not the end of your day

Until now there were two options at lunch: end your day and start a whole new one afterwards, or leave the clock running through your sandwich. Neither was right.

There's a Take a break button now, sitting next to End day.

• Tap it and the clock stops. No confirmation, no "are you sure" — you're already halfway to the truck.
• The card switches to On break, with how long you've been on the clock so far today.
• Back to work starts it up again.
• Were you on a site when you stepped away? There's a second button — Back on [that job] — that puts you back on the clock and back on that project in one tap.

Take as many as you like. Nothing caps them, nothing counts them, nobody gets a report about them.

What it does to your hours

Nothing you wouldn't expect. Your break isn't paid time and it isn't lost time — it's simply not on the clock.

Clock in at 8, break at 12, back at 12:30, done at 4:30, and your day reads 8 hours. Not 8.5. The two stretches sit on the same day on your timesheet and add together.

[!note] The On break card is remembered on the device you took the break on. Break on your phone, then open BidCraft on a laptop, and the laptop just offers Start my day — tap it and you're right back on the clock. Same hours either way.

End day is still there, and it's still the one that closes everything out. Rule of thumb: coming back today? Take a break. Done until tomorrow? End day.
