With break calculation rules set up either on an Account level, Group level, or Agreement level, you can simply click the refresh icon on the relevant shift, and an appropriate break time will be added.
Setting it up

- In Account settings, go to Shift types > Break calculation rules.
- In the top-right corner, click Add.
- Select the timespan, what days it should apply for, location of breaks, the number of breaks.
- Click Save and you're done!
Break calculation rules that are created under Account settings will be shared with all units in the organization.
