Is it illegal not to have at least 15 minuets break for every 4 hours of employment?
I ask as i have heard many people say it is the law that employers should give 15 minuets break when you have worked over 4 hours. If it is does anyone have any links?
What can we do if an employer is breaking the law in the treatment of it's employees? If we were to raise any such points with the employer we would get the sack and be stiched up so is there any outside bodies that could help?
This is in the uk, thats why i ased on uk yahoo answers.
No it isn't illegal to not have a 15 minute break for every 4 hours of employment.Adult workers are entitled to a minimum 20 minute rest break if there working day is longer than 6 hours and this law is different for adolescent workers. It can also be different for shift workers and the type of work and the hours you are paid for.I have worked at an airport and with some companies you never got an official break, but didn't work for 8 or 12 hours straight through but were paid for the full shift and took your breaks as you could .Go to www.hse.gov.uk/workers or www.adviceguide.org.uk
