Taking break in one go

Post by EddieW1002 »

Hi, I’m on a 30 hour contract and so I know I’m entitled to 30 minutes break a day. My question is, am I allowed to take this 30 minutes all in one go when out on delivery or do I have to split it in to two 15 minute breaks, one before I leave the yard and one out on delivery? Some posties have said that I can only have 15 minutes when I’m out but I’ve searched and I can’t find anything formal saying I can’t take it all in one go. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I'd quite like to know where we stand on this too. we finish on a break & are supposed to have a 10 min break before we leave the yard but seeing as that's usually only 20 min after my start time I don't bother but I usually have a 20min break half way round to have my sandwiches. Worked with a different guy the other day & he seemed shocked that I was having a break. I pity the poor fool that tries stop me eating my food!!!!
