Meal Relief

In my unit I occasionally perform an early sa before my duty starts, does this affect how much meal relief I should get. I would normally start 2 hours earlier and I am F/T.

No.
Scheduled Attendance does not attract an enhanced paid meal relief except if performed on a Sunday.

Yes, any extension to the work day increases the break allowance accordingly. For example a part timer on 6 hours doing 2 hours overtime would be entitled to 40 minutes instead of 30.

If it is SA then it doesn't increase the meal relief. (except on Sunday)
The agreement is on here somewhere. Read it.

But if I perform the early SA on a Wednesday my total work hours are 10:42, am I still only entitled to a 40 minute break? I did forget to mention that there is no break between the SA and the start of my duty.
