Lathem 7500E manual Setting the Auto Break Deduction, Total

Setting the Auto Break Deduction

The 7500E will deduct the break amount after totaling the hours and if the total hours are equal to or greater than the "Elapsed Time" setting.

Break times can be automatically deducted from totals using the "Auto Break Deduction" feature. You must set a base working elapsed time and break duration. Once total working hours reaches to Elapsed Time, Break Duration will be deducted from the total working hours.

Example: Auto Break Deduction setting
Elapsed time ··· 8 hours		Break duration ··· 60 min.
	Elapsed time = 8 hours
IN						OUT
7:00 a.m.			3:00 p.m.		5:00 p.m.
		10 hours
Auto Break Duration setting			Print example
		IN		OUT			TOTAL
Yes		7:00 A		5:00 P			9:00 B
No		7:00 A		5:00 P		10:00

"B" is to indicate that Auto Break Deduction is valid.

For example, if you have a 30 minute lunch break that you want to deduct and the lunch break starts 4 hours into work day, set elapsed time to 4:30 and set Break duration to 30. Thus, 30 minutes would be deducted from any punch made 4 hours, 30 minutes in the work period.
