Hospitality rosters break office assumptions immediately. A split shift covering lunch and dinner is two blocks of work in one day, and a shift that ends after midnight still belongs to the day it started.
A working day is one attendance record carrying one or more punches. A split shift produces two punches on that one record — not two records — which is what keeps days-worked counts, off-day entitlements and overtime thresholds honest.
Breaks are recorded and subtracted separately from the shift-level unpaid break policy, so a genuinely long break on a quiet day does not silently become paid time.
Staff can clock themselves in from a self-serve screen, and the envelope on the record is maintained automatically from the punches rather than typed, so nobody can quietly widen their own day.
