You do not enter anything into the DIAD for a paid 10 minute break.

It seems that different areas have different rules. Ours is set up where you enter breaks and lunch under the break/lunch option in the time card menu. Breaks are paid, lunch is not. We even have two spots for lunch, so we could split it up if we wanted.

Where I'm at if you enter your break into the break/lunch area then that is an unpaid break.
According to our steward we enter nothing and just take our break.

My only concern with that would be if a new center manager came in and decided you were stealing time because you were not documenting your breaks, interpret that as a cardinal sin and fire people as a result. According to some people they would be completely justified in doing so, but you would probably still get your job back.

Sure...after losing 3 weeks of work while they "investigate" it.
Someone said "breaks" should be entered under "other work".
It would benefit everyone to use that option.

They should be entered under breaks/lunch. The other work option would be an acceptable back up, I would think. But ultimately center management needs to fix it so you get paid appropriately for entering your breaks in the proper location. For anyone who has not been getting paid for your breaks when you entered them correctly, and your location requires paid breaks, you need to inform management of the shortage in writing. If they don't fix it, then file a grievance. It should give management an incentive to fix your board inputs.

We never entered the first 2 paid breaks in the diad, only lunch. That's what we were instructed to do. We have a 3rd break provision, that's available after 10 hours, provided you took the first two in their correct time slots. For whatever reason - tracking those who actually took the break I assume - we were instructed to code that one (the 3rd) out in other work.
A few times drivers here mistakenly put personal time in the "break" slot and got reamed for not getting it approved first. Here, they want that spot used for approved Dr appointments etc.

We used to code it that way, then they put the break and lunch time in the same screen.

How does that work if the "break" is paid and the "lunch" isn't?

We have had this setup for years and I have never lost the 10 minutes.

It's how they set it up in the computer. The diad information is downloaded when it's in the docking station. The time keeping information is uploaded to the payroll system. If the "break" field in your diad is either not present, or not configured to populate the correct field in payroll, then it will not work properly. I have never seen how they make these changes, but I know it is handled at the center level and I'm fairly certain the OMS' have access to make the changes. Just like changing the DR location options available.
