Meaning of Inclusive Minimum and Maximum Times

  1. If Inclusive Minimum and Maximum Times box is checked: Break will be applied to shifts having total time equal to or greater than the minimum time of the break and equal to or less than the maximum time of the break rule.

Shift length >= minimum and shift length <= maximum
