Pardon the ignorance, but what is a tea break? In the US, most people get a 45 min lunch and one 15 min break for every 8 hours worked.

you are allowed one every four hours, 15 mins when you get a lunch anything under 1 hour should be paid, in my workplace they took a tea break off us because of the way the lunch fell meaning it wasnt four hours before we went home

I have a 15 minute break in the morning. Then 1/2 hour for my lunch so I can leave early! But we have free drinks machines, so we bully them all day.. so thats like breaks too!

None specified by law - however, you're allowed to take regular short breaks away from PCs, but this can include breaks away from the PC to do other tasks - not necessarily to drink tea!!

I dont get any breaks officially. I work in a school so its a bit hard to leave kids if they are misbehaving! I usually get about 10mins break in the morning and thats about it.
