Set your working hours, lunch and breaks
Admins set the working day under Settings → Time & attendance. Every laptop picks up a change within a minute.
The working day
Set Day starts, Day ends, Lunch from and Lunch to. Clockade shows the time needed on the timer: the office day minus lunch and any paid breaks.
Save From today, or pick From a date to schedule a change.
Breaks
- Lunch: Automatic (the timer pauses by itself) or Off.
- Named breaks: two once-a-day breaks of 15, 20 or 30 minutes, for example prayer breaks, or Off.
- Short break: no limit, or a cap of 15 or 30 minutes. Short breaks are unpaid.
The desktop app
Set how long without keyboard or mouse before the timer pauses (3 to 15 minutes), how often screenshots are taken and how long they are kept, and which app version is required. See Screenshots.
People with their own hours
Per-person schedules → Give someone their own hours sets different expected hours for one person, for example someone part-time.
Temporary hours
For winter hours, a holiday month or any short period, use Timing changes ahead. See Saturdays, holidays and temporary hours.
For a different lunch on one day of the week, like a longer Friday break, see A different break on one weekday.
