Every employer tries to reduce costs and increase work efficiency. But sometimes the sources of losses hide where you least expect them — in everyday smoking breaks.
According to Eurostat, more than 20% of the working population smokes. That means in a company with 50 employees, approximately 10 are smokers. On average, each smoker takes 4 breaks daily, each lasting about 6 minutes. Simple math: 24 minutes daily, almost 1 working day per month, and 12 working days per year!
A smoking break is not a legal right — it's a personal habit that companies can regulate according to their own rules.
One of the most accurate and transparent solutions is a biometric attendance system that precisely records worked time and breaks — without errors and manipulation.
