| 1141509 | 2010-10-04 07:04:00 | Actually I quite like it so far. The sucky thing is they voted for no breaks - just an hour lunch. What do you do for an hour at lunch? Not near a shop or anything....nah.....one of the other ladies just keeps on with her 1/2 hour. So might I. Cuppa in the am and 1/2 lunch and back to it. I hate time wasting. |

| 1141510 | 2010-10-04 07:09:00 | "Voted" for no breaks? Is this one of those highly unionised workplaces? Why won't they let you trade your 1 hr lunch for a 1/2 hour lunch + 2x 15min breaks? |

| 1141513 | 2010-10-04 10:48:00 | You're legally entitled to 2 paid 10 min breaks and an unpaid half hour break, and these have to spread out evenly. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 1141514 | 2010-10-04 18:04:00 | You're legally entitled to 2 paid 10 min breaks and an unpaid half hour break, and these have to spread out evenly . Apparently not: Rest and meal breaks --- what you’re entitled to Employees will be entitled to the following paid rest breaks and unpaid meal breaks: * two paid 10-minute rest breaks and one unpaid 30-minute meal break if their work period is between six and eight hours . If more than an eight hour period is worked, these requirements automatically extend to cover the additional hours on the same basis . Timing of rest and meal breaks The timing of rest and meal breaks is flexible and can follow any arrangement agreed between employer and employee . If an agreement can’t be reached, the rest and meal breaks should be spread evenly throughout the work period, where reasonable and practicable . |

| 1141515 | 2010-10-04 19:04:00 | It sounds as though they could be flexible with a give and take situation. An hour can be too long when there isn't anything else you could do. I like your idea. Those few minutes for a cuppa can make all the difference to refresh you. Best of luck in the job. |
