Is this your full duty time or just the outdoor aspect?
Your duty should have a "318" which is basically a book/sheet showing everything you do on a daily basis.

If you are only employed for 5 hr 15 then yes, plus a 20 minute break which you cannot plan at the beginning or the end of your attendance.

A 5h 15 day would attract a 30 minute meal relief.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

yes, my apologise a 30 minute break which you should also not split either. i.e 15 minutes and 15 minutes or 20 minutes and 10 minutes. If you are asked to cut your break short you can essentially regard none of your break as having been taken.

for clarity regarding the above link, our union has negotiated a better than minimum required break time.

What are your contractual hours ie turn up place of work leave place of work the delivery span is a misnomer their is no delivery span too employees in RM here but you all have a contractual hours unless you are agency. And so non of this apply's as some are zero hour and others 30 hours plus with different terms and conditions!
