Hey.I'm looking for a bit of help regarding break entitlement as there seems to be a lot of disagreement about my working hours /break entitlement .I am contracted to a Saturday 10 hour shift doing collections for a few hours and then delivering mail to a mail centre two hours away .some days the manager puts me on a town walk delivering post solidly .this means I have to come in early thus making my day 11 hours .basically I have got two questions .first question ,is he allowed to make me do an eight mile town walk before I have to drive 2 hours down the road and back and the second is what breaks am I entitled to in both situations.
Cheers

Re: break entitlement
Also you don't have to come in an hour early to do a delivery,just come in at your normal time.
