    https://www.gov.uk/rest-breaks-work/overview

    Workers over 18 are usually entitled to 3 types of break - rest breaks at work, daily rest and weekly rest.Rest breaks at work

    Workers have the right to one uninterrupted 20 minute rest break during their working day (this could be a tea or lunch break), if they work more than 6 hours a day.
    Daily rest

    Workers have the right to 11 hours rest between working days, eg if they finish work at 8pm, they shouldn’t start work again until 7am the next day.
    Weekly rest

    Workers have the right to either:
    • an uninterrupted 24 hours without any work each week
    • an uninterrupted 48 hours without any work each fortnight

    A worker’s employment contract may say they’re entitled to more or different rights to breaks from work.
    Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.

    It doesn't matter where your journey begins, so long as you begin it...

      Thanks we get 10 minutes for a 6 hr shift and one 45 minute for a 8.15-5.30 shift I thought it might be a little more than what we get.

        Working directive: am i think it's 30 mins for every 6 hours, so 2 rest periods of 15 mins within the 6 hours would be legal. If you're a tachograph driver it's the usual.
