> This resulted in long lines that could last between 10 to 15 minutes at the computer where employees have to clock in and out for their break.

If only your employees already carried around hand held computers that they could use to clock and in out for their breaks.

Apparently those were personal phones.

doesn't seem hard even to install a lot more clocking in devices

or maybe just letting people go take a break when they need one and when their "line" is covered, just notify someone nearby and stagger them.

Then maybe having a way for them to flag at least a break/lunch in the system later when they get a chance to make sure compliance with legal and stuff is met if they need to.

Funny enough, they could for a while as part of Amazon's COVID policy, to prevent employees from crowding around timeclocks but that's now being rolled back.

Usually, unless you're a manager you're not allowed to carry a device onto the floor.
