I work 12 hour shifts and I get 1 hour 18mins official break unpaid, so get paid 10 hours 42 mins. Unofficially we get 4 hour breaks as many tea breaks as we want and put down no meal break if we break a sweat  :grin:

I start at 8:30 and finish at 7pm ish (still at work now :embarassed:)
No real breaks, sometimes I go up to the bakery for a sarnie but most of the time i dont even get a lunch break, Private sector can be a b!tch.

On the upside ive spent the summer managing my projects in Germany (black forest), Switzerland, Ireland, Norway, Sweeden and Denmark.
I have been away from the office from early May until last week, so I cant complain about not having a 15 min break on a regular basis, especialy as I have a company visa :wink:

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I start at 7.30, finish at 16.30 and have a 10 minute paid break at 10am and 3pm, and have a half hour unpaid break at 12.15. Your boss will be changing working conditions so I'm pretty sure he will have to give you some sort of notice...

 :grin: Tell me about it. Almost 13 years done and cant say I have actually worked to set times for 1 day of that!
Getting paid 24 hours a day sounds pretty good to most, but bear in mind if you break it down, its actually less than minimum wage!
Officially breaks are 10.15 - 10.30, and lunch at 12-1.15 alongside and 1.30 at sea. In reality its cowboy time at 09.50 and back at 10.30, then again at 11.30. But we do go back at the proper times after lunch too! Go for a fag whenever I want one as well. Day working hours  8-4 :smiley:
