Meal breaks for non-standard, part-time and extended attendances

Part-time jobs, and full-time jobs with non-standard attendance patterns, will attract meal breaks for each daily attendance as follows, reflecting a generally pro-rata entitlement to the national weekly standard:

Attendance length.......................total breaks................................probable pattern

less than 2 hours 30 minutes........... none (a 10 min grace break should be provided if work permits)

2 hours 30 to 3 hours....................10 mins............................................10

3 hours 1 to 3 hours 30..................15 mins.............................................15

3 hours 31 to 4 hours 59.................20 mins..............................................20

5 hours to 7 hours........................30 mins..............................................30

7 hours 1 to 8 hours 59...................40 mins........................................40 or 20 + 20

9 hours to 10 hours 59....................50 mins...........................................30 + 20

11 hours to 12 hours 59...................60 mins ......................................40 + 20 or 30 + 30

13 hours or longer.........................70 mins...........................................40 + 30


The actual pattern of breaks within these rules will be agreed locally

Overtime and Scheduled Attendance

Attendances consisting wholly of overtime, or of Scheduled Attendance on Sunday, should attract paid breaks based on the length of the attendance as in the table above. Attendances consisting wholly of weekday SA should attract unpaid breaks on the same basis, at least one of which must be scheduled within the attendance rather than at the beginning or end. Where there is a gap of up to 59 minutes between duty and overtime (but not Scheduled Attendance, except on Sunday) that cannot be filled with useful work, this will be considered booked through time and paid for at normal overtime rates.

Conditioned attendances extended by overtime (or by SA on Sunday) consecutive with the beginning or end will attract additional breaks if the entitlement for the total attendance (overtime plus conditioned hours), in the table above, is greater than the breaks already scheduled during the conditioned attendance. For example, an 8 hour conditioned attendance with 4 hours overtime would attract an extra 20 minutes (i.e. 60 minus 40). In most cases, particularly if the additional break is for only 10 minutes, it should be taken between the period of overtime and the normal conditioned attendance

Search facility thread was a guide rather than a place to ask questions so split the question and answer and created a new thread.
