Enforcing Meal Break Rule in Ceridian Dayforce Time Clock

Meal break regulations can be complex, varying by location and union agreements. Traditional time clocks might offer limited flexibility in managing these nuances, and failure to comply can expose businesses to significant penalties, bad publicity, and worse. CloudApper hrPad for Ceridian Dayforce offers a user-friendly solution to manage meal break compliance dynamically. Utilizing AI and Android/iPad tablets, hrPad goes beyond simply recording punches, proactively safeguarding organizations from inadvertent regulatory violations.

Employee Time Capture in a Nutshell

Typically, the CloudApper hrPad solution has a button for punching in and out. Since the HCM system (Ceridian Dayforce) connected to hrPad has punch interpretation rules, where it can accept any type of punch, it knows if an employee is punching in or out or taking a lunch break. The process is pretty straightforward—punches are submitted by tapping a big button on the tablet.

How CloudApper hrPad Enforces Meal Breaks

With CloudApper hrPad, the same button can also be expanded. So, if employees are used to seeing separate buttons such as punch in, punch out, lunch in, and lunch out, then hrPad can also be set up for that configuration. Moreover, meal breaks are a huge deal in some states like California, and hrPad can be configured to ensure that organizations aren’t penalized. There are cases where organizations need to provide employees with a mandatory 30-minute lunch break. In typical cases, if the employee punches in and out without any validation, that purpose is not served, as there’s no record of the break.

With CloudApper hrPad, Ceridian Dayforce users can enforce meal breaks easily and prevent non-compliant clock-outs that can cause penalties down the line. It can be configured to ensure that when an employee has clocked in for the day, they won’t be able to clock out if the person didn’t take the mandatory 30-minute break. If the employee tries to clock out, it will provide a popup message saying that they didn’t take their allocated 30-minute meal break for the day, or if they did, it was not for 30 minutes. The solution ensures that the employee takes the minute meal break – ensuring employee well-being, boosting regulatory adherence, and avoiding penalties.

Without CloudApper hrPad, employees will be clocked out for the day, even if they didn’t take the 30-minute meal break during their working shift.

Provide Reminders to Employees To Take Meal Breaks With hrPad

But what if the employees got too busy with their work and forgot about taking the break entirely?

CloudApper hrPad can easily handle that as well – it anticipates potential compliance gaps.

The custom AI-powered solution for Ceridian Dayforce can be configured to remind employees regarding their 30-minute mandatory breaks just by texting them. These text messages serve as soft reminders and are sent to employees before they need to take a break, giving them a heads-up to finish their current tasks and take a break. Doing so helps avoid penalties for the organization and ensures compliance with local regulations – saving money and avoiding bad publicity.
