4) Minimum on break length

• A minimum on a break can be set to automatically enforce this value. An example of this would be a 30 min lunch break. If a user takes 24 mins, the system can automatically adjust to 30 mins.
• To set the minimum, follow the steps above and enter a value in the minimum field.
