You are entitled to 20 minutes break after you have worked for 4 hours. If you work 8 hours you are entitled to an hour long break.

Yes definately. I work at a big name department store so they stick to the rules diligently. You are allowed 10 mins (15 mins if you're under 18) for every hour over 4 hours therefore you deserve at least a 20min break for 6 hours. This is the law in the UK and your boss is breaking it by not allowing you a break.

If a worker is required to work for more than six hours at a stretch, he or she is entitled to a rest break of 20 minutes.
The break should be taken during the six-hour period and not at the beginning or end of it. The exact time the breaks are taken is up to the employer to decide.
Employers must make sure that workers can take their rest, but are not required to make sure they do take their rest.

in many situations none yet perhaps quarter-hour......when you're unionized verify with your union. In an 8 hour day you're entitled to 0.5-hour for lunch with the help of regulation without pay. some are entitled to fifteen minutes in th am and pm paid. All this relies upon who you paintings for and if there's a union.

By law, you must have a break if you work 4 hours. If you're not getting a break when you're working 6 hours then you should speak to your employer about it. If nothing is done about it you should speak to citizens advice bureau.
