Inaccurate Lunch Break Tracking

The retail chain previously relied on a paper-based system for employees to record their lunch breaks. This method was susceptible to human error and inconsistencies. Employees often need to remember to log their breaks, leading to disputes and inaccurate payroll calculations. Additionally, managers spent a significant amount of time manually reconciling discrepancies.
