Automatic Meal Deduction Did Not Apply

What this usually means

Check work rule eligibility, shift length, exceptions, and manual overrides.

First checks

1. Confirm the employee worked enough time to trigger the deduction.
2. Verify the active work rule contains the expected deduction rule.
3. Check for a cancel-deduction edit or exception.
4. Review transfers that may apply a different work rule.
5. Test a clean shift using the same profile and rule.

Evidence to capture before escalating

• Employee or manager ID; do not send sensitive information in open channels.
• Exact date, timeframe, page, tile, or workflow.
• Expected result versus actual result.
• Screenshot of the message and relevant audit or configuration evidence.
• Whether the issue affects one user, one location, or the full organization.

Avoid

Do not make broad production configuration changes until the issue is reproduced with a controlled test. Fix the smallest confirmed layer first.
