There are local agreements to take into account as well though - swmc mentioned his location in another post, at Swindon an 8 hour duty attracts 60min breaks so at the minimum you should be having for 12 hours is 60min for 8 hours plus 20min for another 4 hours, you'd have to see a rep though to find out the correct figure. There's quite a proportion of reps on Earlies, the Lates rep has quit (although one of the earlies is normally in till gone 5pm) and at last count 2 reps on Nights.

Thanks for the link Postiewith... very informative :cool When our PTers work OT and do 8hrs our DIM likes to argue the toss. After all it effects his bonus! :mad

Last time he said, "No you get 20mins! I thought you'd have appreciated the extra money earned on OT!" What a neck :arrrghhh In a nearby DO my mate was told, "That's what your contracted for", he's also only contracted to WORK for 4Hrs :d'oh!

Management obviously like to keep these allowances quiet, think I'll ask my Rep to put it on the noticeboard.
