What do start and stop times actually mean with reference to time entry? Does it account for meal breaks?

The start time is the time that an employee’s shift starts and the stop time is the time that the employee’s shift ends.

Meal periods will be automatically deducted.

After 5 hours of work, a half-hour will be deducted; and an hour will be deducted after 7 hours of work. The system will show the deducted hours as calculated hours (it will show in the calculated time).
