Take Time Out

​

This feature, available from your My Activity Dashboard, submits a note to your manager informing that you are taking a break from work. The type of break might be:

​

• Planned - if your team is expected to notify when taking scheduled daily breaks, for instance a lunch break.
   

• Unplanned - if you need to take a break to deal with an urgent matter.

​

Your manager might not always be available to speak to, so informing time out improves communication, helping managers plan breaks for the team as a whole, and to know when you might need assistance if a personal matter arises. 

 

As with progression notes and the end-of-day (EOD) feature, informing time out prevents an inactivity note from being generated (see "Progression Notes").
