No payable break for new joiners?

Post by felixlee »

I was told that new joiners (since November 2023?) no longer entitle to payable break even after working 12 weeks. Can anyone confirm this?

There is no paid meal relief on the new contracts. Even after 12 weeks.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

No paid breaks actually started in Nov 22.

No paid break, full time contract is 40 hours - so if the contract is for fewer hours than that, the "time and a quarter" rate only kicks in for beyond 40 hours worked.
