How does the Breaks step work for an employee?
- Answer
Under Breaks you record an employee's regular breaks, for example a lunch break on certain weekdays. During such a break a guest cannot book an appointment online with that employee. A break applies every week on the chosen days.

The Breaks step sits between Working hours and Chairs in the Employees window. You fill in a break and click Save; the break then appears in the Saved breaks list below the form.
