How do I see employee breaks?

You can pull up the same report, sara26.

 

The Time Activities by Employee Detail report shows the total number of hours they've rendered including breaks. You can provide it to your employees so they'll know the breaks they've recorded. You can follow the same steps shared by Catherine_B.

 

In addition, you can let your employee go to Report section if they have an access. This will automatically route them to the said report.

How do I see employee breaks?

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, @sara26.

 

To monitor your employees,  you need to turn on and set up time tracking. This feature helps you track and bill for the hours consumed in a project or activity. Here's how:

  1. On the Gear icon, click Account and Setting.
  2. Select the Advanced tab, then hit the pencil icon on to the right side of Time Tracking.
  3. Check the box beside Add Service field to timesheets, Make Single-Time Activity Billable to Custome and Show billing rate to users entering time.
  4. Use the drop-down arrow to select the day to begin each workweek. (Setting the first day of your workweek affects how employees and contractors view Weekly Time Sheets).
  5. Hit Save and Done.

 

Time tracking is available in QBO Essentials, Plus, and Advanced. 
 
You can also invite an employee as time tracking users so that they can access their timesheet and time reports. 

 

Please let me know if theirs anything else I can help. I am always here to guide. Have a beautiful day!

How do I see employee breaks?

I see how to to run the report and view the total hours for each employee, but is there a way to see if they've entered a break from the "single time activity" option?

We can add the Break column to see if they've entered one, sara26. 

 

Let's pull the Time Activities by Employee Detail and add the Break column from there. The report also gives you the Start and End time the employee entered. 

 

Here's how: 

  1. From the Reports page, type and select Time Activities by Employee Detail
  2. Click the Customize button. 
  3. Filter the Time Activity Date
  4. Click Rows/Columns and then Change columns
  5. Check the Break box. 
  6. Click Run report

You can export, print, and mail this report that'll serve as your copy. The Save customization button also allows you to memorize the filters you've created. This way, you don't need to customize it again every time you pull it up. 

 

Reports give you an overview how your business has been going. Let me know if you have further questions about them.
