When and how should I use a Break Planner?
There can be a break schedule for different purposes:
- For the break planning of employees of a department, where always a person must be present, e.g. in order to ensure the telephone contact of customers, and
- for the recording of break times for employees and workers who take their breaks themselves but have to record them.
For these 2 purposes, I have prepared different break schedules in Excel, which hopefully will be useful for future break planning.
Break planning for employees to ensure that the office or business is always staffed. Either print blank and fill in analogously (color or enter pause time with arrows) or plan directly in Excel by filling the corresponding cells with a background color.
