# How do I activate automatic break deduction?

Automatic break deduction only applies if this function is activated in the conditions for working time and breaks. A break is automatically entered if not enough break has been recorded to meet the conditions.

### Examples for better understanding

If the working time exceeds 6 hours, a break of 30 minutes must be recorded.

###### Example 1:
Two 10-minute breaks have been recorded. According to the conditions, the minimum break time is 15 minutes.
In this case, a 30-minute break is automatically added. The total break time for the day is therefore 50 minutes.

###### Example 2:
A break of 23 minutes has been recorded. According to the condition, the minimum break time is 15 minutes.
In this case, a 7-minute break is added so that the mandatory break time of 30 minutes is reached.

###### Example 3:
A break of 35 minutes has been recorded.
No additional break is entered automatically.

### How to set up automatic break deduction
