During your work shift, you can register pauses (breaks) in the Begin Time app. Pause time is tracked separately and deducted from your total working hours.

How to start a pause

  1. While your work time is running, tap the Pause button below the timer.

  2. The app switches to the pause timer view, showing how long your current pause has been.

How to end a pause

  1. Tap End pause.

  2. Your work time resumes and the main timer continues.

How to edit or delete a pause

If you have permission to edit working hours, tap the three-dot button next to the current pause. From there you can:

  • Change the start time of the pause

  • Delete the current pause

Automatic pauses

Some companies configure automatic pauses that are deducted from working hours without employees needing to press the pause button. If your company uses automatic pauses, the deducted time will appear on your timesheet even if you did not manually register a break. Check with your admin if you are unsure.
