Team member break violations are automatically flagged in Timecards.

Square Timecard reporting now automatically flags break violations if a team member takes a break that’s too long or short. The break violation is visually represented in the Workday report (see below) and Labor Cost report in your online Dashboard. This new feature helps you comply with state break laws, gain confidence in the accuracy of your timecards, and manage your labor costs. View your timecards here.
