ASL Break Policy




ASL INT breaks are assigned based on the number of hours worked in a day.


  • 10-minutes of unscheduled paid break time per scheduled hour to be used as needed by ASL INTs

(EX: 4 hour shifts receive 4 10-minute paid breaks to be used as needed over the course of the shift)


*Please note these breaks cannot be used at the end of the shift for an early log out, as this will shorten the timesheet.*


**These breaks cannot be combined. If a long call occurs you may take a break following that call, but it would not be added to the next hour's break time.**


  • Any shift totaling 5 or more hours will receive a 30-minute unpaid lunch in addition to the 10-minutes of paid break time per scheduled hour

(EX: 5 hour shifts receive 5 10-minute paid breaks to be used as needed and a scheduled 30-minute unpaid lunch break)




See below how to log your breaks in Deputy:


You DO NOT enter short breaks in Deputy. Only enter the scheduled 30-mintue break if it is present in your posted Deputy shift.
