What are your breaks for a 12-hour per day, 3 day work week?

    Hi.

    I'm just curious about the number and lengths of break times for others here that do 36 hours per week shiftwork (7am~7pm).

    My place does this:
    • break 1 = 15 minutes
    • break 2 = 25 minutes
    • break 3 = 15 minutes
    • break 4 = 15 minutes
    = 70m

    Thanks.

    Worked in a place where we got two 15 min breaks and one 30 min break in a 12 hour shift which is the legal minimum I think.
    Boss was an absolute dick mind, think he used to only pay us for 11 hours as well.

    Officially its 15min, 30 min, 15 min. Reality - 1 hour, 1 hour, 1 hour

    30mins, 30mins, 15mins

    They also have no problem with you taking an extra 5-10mins here and there (to take a phone call/get a drink of water/smoke break etc), as long as we don't take the p1ss

    That's far better than my place - they watch you like a hawk all day long. The breaks are timed to the second.
