âť— Things to consider:
- If an employee clocks in a break after 12 o'clock it would be divided into two days.
- If a shift lasts more than 24 hours after 12 o'clock, the shift will appear in two days.
- The hours worked are not affected, no additional hours are added or subtracted, the hours are simply divided into two days.Â
