The sample report shows how BreakAuditor turns a timecard export into a package an HR consultant, payroll consultant, or bookkeeper can discuss with a client. The downloadable PDF is an 11-page packet generated from 30 synthetic Homebase-style shifts, but the same report structure applies to ADP Workforce Now, Gusto, Paychex Flex, Square, 7shifts, Deputy, and generic CSV exports.

What the sample proves: the report is not a generic dashboard screenshot. It is a client deliverable with a branded cover, a source-backed finding list, correction rows, and a written assumptions log.

Executive summary

The first pages give the client the numbers they need before they look at row detail. In the current synthetic sample, the summary includes:

  • 30 shifts reviewed across a short sample pay period.
  • 25 detected or attested meal/rest items that need review before correction.
  • 7 record gaps where the export does not prove whether a rest break was taken.
  • 19 payroll correction rows with employee, date, issue category, rate, credit, unpaid amount, and source-row references.
  • $487.60 to $680.10 estimated premium exposure, shown as a range rather than false precision.

Correction rows

The correction table is built for payroll review. Each row keeps the employee identifier, date, issue category, rate source, premium already paid, estimated unpaid amount, and source row reference together.

  • MEAL-PREM: rows where the sample detects a missing, late, or short meal period.
  • REST-PREM: rows where the export includes rest-break evidence that supports review.
  • RECORD-GAP: rows where the data is incomplete and the client needs follow-up before treating it as a violation.

Assumptions log

The assumptions log is what makes the report defensible. It states the pay-rate source, how premiums already paid are credited, how rest-break gaps are handled, and which fields were missing from the upload.

That matters because many timekeeping exports have useful clock data but incomplete legal context. BreakAuditor separates detected issues from open questions so the client can review the report with payroll, HR, or employment counsel.

What you receive from a real export

  • Branded PDF: your firm name and brand color on the client-facing packet.
  • Payroll correction CSV: structured rows the client can review before payroll adjustment.
  • Assumptions log: scope, exclusions, rounding notes, rate notes, and record gaps.
  • Follow-up checklist: client questions before any final correction or legal conclusion.
