Re: break times [Urgent]
You shouldn't really be able to split a 30 min break but i know some guys would rather take 20 before they leave the office and keep 10 in the bank for later.
If you're calling it your main break 20 mins is the minimum you can take.

Re: break times [Urgent]
What happens when you do over time, say normal duty time is 4 hours but you work an extra hour, do you get an other 10 mins added to your break time.

5. MEAL BREAKS
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.
So yes.
If your normal duty is 6 hrs but you do 2 hrs overtime you get the Meal Break for an 8hr attendance.
