Break at work

yoshiktk · 2020-03-27 04:54:32

Hi, just quick question. Due corona my working hours has been changed, on one of the days I work 7 hours. I know that I'm entitled to 30minutes break, the question is do I have to take it? Thanks

Your employer may require you to take it. And, depending on the nature of your work, health and safety rules or the terms of your employer's insurance may require your employer to require you to take it.

But if you don't want to take it and your employer is happy for you not to take it, who's going to object?

I suppose the question is whether you want to get paid for the extra half hour or leave early or if you just want to work a bit extra
