Everything your HR team needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

BreakPlate is built around one question: can you prove, in court, that your employee was offered their break? Every feature exists to answer that question.


Core engine

Real-time compliance
at every clock-out.

BreakPlate's compliance engine runs the moment a shift closes — not days later when payroll syncs. Every violation is caught, flagged, and documented in real time.

Compliance Engine

Real-time validation at every clock-out against CA, NV, AZ, and Federal FLSA rules. Adding a new state requires zero code changes — just insert law data into the compliance database.

Break & Meal Enforcement

Tracks rest and meal breaks per shift. Detects missed, short, and waived breaks automatically. CA waiver logic, NV 8-hour threshold, and FLSA defaults all built in and always current.

Immutable Audit Trail

Every clock-in, break, amendment, and violation is written to a partitioned, tamper-evident audit log with full timestamps and statute references — court-ready from day one.

7th Consecutive Day Detection

Automatically detects when an employee is working their 7th consecutive day and flags the California double-time obligation under LC §510 — before the shift closes.

Minor Labor Hour Tracking

Tracks CA minor labor rules by school day and school week. Separate limits enforced for ages 14–15 and 16–17, with automatic flags when thresholds are approached.

LC §226.7 Premium Pay Flagging

After Naranjo v. Spectrum Security (2022), missed break premiums are wages. BreakPlate flags the exact dollar amount owed the moment a break is missed — with statute citation.


Attestation system

Three flows. Every outcome
documented.

Proving a break was offered is the entire game in California wage-and-hour litigation. BreakPlate captures every possible outcome with a timestamped, law-referenced record.

FLOW A

Manager Verbal Attestation

Manager confirms they verbally notified the employee. Creates a timestamped record that the employer took action — logged against the shift, the employee, and the applicable law.

FLOW B

Employee Digital Acknowledgment

Employee taps to confirm on the manager's device, authenticated via Face ID or Touch ID. Biometrically-linked — cannot be denied or falsified. The strongest legal record available short of a signed paper form.

FLOW C

Refused or Unavailable

Manager documents the reason the break wasn't taken — refused, couldn't locate employee, emergency coverage. Proves the company offered the break even when it couldn't be taken. Critical for distributed workforces.


HR portal & employee app

One dashboard.
Every shift. Every flag.

BreakPlate gives HR admins a real-time view of compliance across every location, and employees a simple mobile app that makes clock-in and break acknowledgment seamless.

HR Admin Portal

View open flags by severity, resolve violations, approve time amendments, close pay periods, and export compliance reports — all timestamped and fully audit-logged.

iOS & Android App

Employees clock in, clock out, and acknowledge breaks from their phone or company device. Push notifications fire when a break is due — before the violation occurs.

Manager Kiosk

Tablet-based dashboard shows every active shift with amber/red break alerts. Supports all three notification flows without employees needing personal devices — legally defensible without hardware kiosks.

Compliance Dashboard

30-day trend charts showing compliance score by location, severity breakdown, and flag history. Spot a declining site before it becomes a class action.

Legal Defense Export

One-click export of all compliance records for a specific employee, shift range, or violation type — formatted for use in PAGA defense, labor board hearings, or arbitration.

AI Law Ingestion

Labor law updates are parsed by AI directly from government statute sources, validated against the compliance schema, and deployed automatically. Your rules are always current.
