Breaks have nothing to do with your contract. Depends on hours worked per day.

I've copy and pasted this from a previous post.

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

Incorrect - they are contractural breaks because they form part of the collective agreements that form an OPGs contract.
