# Breaks

Click the **Locations** tab in the top black navigation bar.

![Location Tab](https://support.makeshift.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/New%20KB%20articles%20pictures/Location%20Tab.png?width=670&height=37&name=Location%20Tab.png)

Click on the location you would like to configure payroll settings for.

![Five Locations](https://support.makeshift.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/knowledge%20base%20images/Five%20Locations.png?width=584&height=176&name=Five%20Locations.png)

Select the **Breaks** tab.

![breaks](https://support.makeshift.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/knowledge%20base%20images/breaks.png?width=626&height=41&name=breaks.png)

From here, you can select between **Unpaid Breaks **and **Paid Breaks.** Unpaid breaks will deduct hours from your employee's timesheets depending on whether you choose auto-deduct or require employee's to clock in and out. Paid breaks will not deduct hours from your employee's timesheets. Rounding rules do not apply to breaks unless you have chosen to round to the scheduled shift start time or end time.
