breaks allowance

Post by the dragon »

Im looking for some advice on what our break allowance should be when working overtime.
Ive read on here somewhere (Iv looked but cant find it now) that when you work over 9.5 on your shift, you get an extra break ( 20 mins)?
Is there an official company/union agreement on the exact amounts?
Thanks in advance

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

5 hours, 30 min break.
7 hours, 40 min break.
9 hours, 50 min break.
11 hours, 60 min break.
13 hours, 70 min break.

If you don’t get your full break entitlement during your shift then make sure to add it to your overtime.

Hope this helps.
