The purpose of this idea is to suggest considering making the "Deducted Time" column on the timecard optional.
The "Deducted Time" column has such prominent real estate on the timecard but we don't often see it used because it jeopardizes compliance (how do you prove the employee took the break if they didn't punch for it) and the typical best practice is for employees to punch for their breaks.
In order to consolidate the timecard and only offer the client columns and rows that are truly pertinent to their operation, would you consider making the "Deducted Time" column optional? It would be ideal if enabling this column was attached to the AutoLunch rule. If the AutoLunch rule is enabled, then the "Deducted Time" column would be enabled. If the user doesn't setup any AutoLunch parameters on the Employee Setup screen, then they can use the column to freely key in values, like they can now, so no functionality is lost for existing users who do use this feature.
Making the "Deducted Time" column optional would free up space on the timecard, enhance compliance, and won't jeopardize or take away any of the features customers who use this already enjoy. It seems like a scenario where everyone would win.
