How to automatically record pause and return points

Automatic break recording is a setting that allows rest breaks to be automatically recorded on the timesheet, according to the employee's defined work schedule. This brings more convenience to the daily routine and ensures compliance with labor laws, even when the employee forgets to manually record the break.
