Daft question to ask on here where it's typically 10 hrs of work and 30 spent posting shyte on PH on how to paint your garage or whatever.
5 hours of work, 30 spent posting shyte on PH and 5 hours taking fag breaks (if you are a smoker of course)It cuts into your posting st on PH time.
Still stupid, mind, but easier to think of yourself as impressive.

Working hours are exactly that, they do not include lunch or any other breaks. 40 hours means 40 hours of working time.
Maybe where you are. In 38 years of work, mostly in the South of England, both permie and contract, I've never worked anywhere that treated tea breaks as unpaid. Just asked my girlfriend who worked in various factories in Scotland, and she said it was quite common there for tea breaks to be unpaid. Johnnytheboy said:
This 'unpaid lunchbreak' thing really annoys me. My staff are meant to be there from 0730 until 1600.
They often want to know why they can't leave early as they haven't taken lunch.
If they were paid this would not happen.
That's employment law designed to protect people from working too long without a break, probably stems from industries where tiredness can be fatal.They often want to know why they can't leave early as they haven't taken lunch.

Government "Employees MUST have a break of X minutes every 6 hours"
Employer "Ok, if you insist, but we're not paying for it"
