Brilliant!! Well done that man,do you see steam coming out there ears??

Most of them just accepted it eventually, although theres definitely a lot of annoyed staring and sweating of the brow going on as in enjoy my green tea and sandwiches.

Rubbish. Why on earth would you have to finish at the same time? Different contracts different start times different breaks.. different amounts of overtime.

I rarely put down the same finish time as my partner and we ARE meant to finish at the same time. He slings his PDA and van keys in and runs out. I sort the bags, put my 739's in the correct place and have my break. I'll often put a finish time 40 minutes after his.

Thanks for your reply. I will await another battle when I claim OT today.

5-7 hours = 30 min break

As someone else has mentioned, if you don't physically take your breaks then add them on at the end. If the screws get funny and refuse to pay them as they weren't actually taken then TAKE the paid break that you are entitled to. They would like us all NOT to take our breaks and NOT claim. Unfortunately some employees are rewarded in favouritism for or bullied into doing exactly that. C'est la vie.
