Shift breaks

Shift breaks

Please note that breaks are not displayed when a shift is posted or assigned by a locum. We acknowledge that some shifts may be solo, where a locum won’t have the opportunity to take a lunch break, while others may involve assistance from another pharmacist, allowing for a break.

At the end of each shift, the locum will complete a timesheet. They will have the opportunity to record a lunch break, if applicable, along with its duration.

It is essential for the pharmacy to review and cross-check the timesheets to ensure that breaks have been properly recorded where necessary.
