Calculate optimal break distribution to maintain coverage during all intervals.
Last verified: March 2026
Poorly distributed breaks are a hidden cause of service level failures. This optimizer calculates the maximum agents on break per interval while maintaining your minimum coverage threshold. The 15% rule: never have more than 15% of your agents on break simultaneously.
