Meal/Sleep Hours

In order for Meal/Sleep hours to be an option in Quick Shifts, the shift must be an overnight shift that is 8 hours or more.  After designating the time for the shift, you will see the Meal/Sleep hours section under Quick Shifts.

When configuring Meals/Sleep Hours allotted for the caregiver to eat and sleep, such as on a 24-hour live-in shift, it is important to note if the Meals/Sleep Behavior setting (in Site Settings, see image below) is set to Paid.

When this setting is set to Paid, the hours entered here will be subtracted from the totals, but not from their pay for the purposes of calculating overtime status for the week. Even so, the staff member will still be paid for these hours. Calculate the number of hours based on the number of days they are scheduled to work. For example, 18.285 hours would equate to a 40 hour workweek for a staff working 24 hour live-in shifts 7 days a week.

If the Meals Sleep Behavior setting is set to Unpaid, these hours will be subtracted from the Caregiver Hours for the shift in all respects.  The caregiver will not be paid for these hours, and they will not count towards overtime.  The client's billing will be unaffected. 

For both settings: with concurrent shifts, enter the full (same) number of hours on each instance of the shift and it will be divided by the number of clients.
