If they are scheduled for a meal and have set their presence to meal, then they are in adherence. As to why the On Queue shows as out of adherence, it is probably because of their routing status - specifically their routing status might be 'Not Responding'.
What does historical adherence view show in the exceptions view when this occurred for their routing status (Status column values with On Queue will show routing status additionally)?
If you feel the routing status for the agent is one of the acceptable values noted below in footnote 2, then I would recommend opening a support ticket so we can track and investigate further.
1. The presences **must*** be mapped to activity categories as follows:
- Available -> Off Queue
- Away -> Unavailable¹
- Break -> Break
- Busy -> Off Queue
- Meal -> Meal
- Meeting -> Meeting
- Idle -> Unavailable¹
- Offline -> Unavailable¹
- On Queue -> On Queue²
- Out of Office³ -> Time Off¹
- Training -> Training
¹ Any presence that is mapped to either "Time Off" or "Unavailable" activity category, will be deemed as being equivalent/interchangeable.
² Besides being in the "On Queue" presence, the agent will also have to be in either "Idle", "Interacting", or "Communicating" routing status to be in adherence for "On Queue" activity. The last routing status for concurrent interaction scenarios dictates the agent's perceived routing status.
³ Out of Office is not a formal presence, rather it is a flag; however, its presentation as a selectable item along with presences in the user interface makes it seem like one. When the flag is true we ignore current presence and always map to Time Off.
⁴ When an agent has no scheduled activities they will be considered as having an "Unscheduled" adherence status regardless of current presence.

Subject: Adherence when on unpaid meal break
Hi
I've noticed agents being credited with adherence when on their meal break, even if they've been non adherent the rest of the day.
Should this Meal break not be counted as N/A in relation to adherence in this case?
Thanks
Jon
