cybertwin Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 well, those working 9-3 get 20 mins lunch paid as they stay on the premisises. during the morning everyone gets a tea or coffee, drunk in 5 mins one at a time, can you call that a coffee break?

diesel10 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi I thought that anyone working over 4 hours legally was entitled to 15 mins break. Lunch hours should be unpaid. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 No I believe anyone working over 6 hours gets 20 minutes, only the under 18's get 15 minutes after 4 hours. I'm going to offer the unpaid 15 minutes if they wish to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 according to direct gov 20mins after 6 hours unless 16-18 years then 30 mins after 4 and half hours (Can be paid or unpaid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsbat Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 sorry i'm just catching up so am bumping up some older threads lol. lunchbreaks are paid at our setting but we sit with the children and eat - so it's not really a break as such. Tea breaks we go one at a time into the bar (we're in a village hall) and have our drink while making snack etc then when we finish we make the next persons drink. We can see and talk to the children all the time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
