working a 9 hour shift how long'er break period is she entitled too?

Question

i am in the uk

Answer 1

A lot of seriously warped answers here.

According to the Working time Regulations (WTR), an employee is entitled to a rest period of 20 minutes after 6 hours of work. This is, unless the employer chooses otherwise, unpaid. They can be provided with 2 15 minute breaks, Paid or unpaid, at the discretion of the employer.

Hope this clarifies your answer.

Answer 2

You're entitled to 10 minutes for every 2 hours worked so she would be entitled to 40 minutes in total. They do not have to pay you for these breaks and they can make you take them when they want you to.

Answer 3

Normally for every 4 hours worked there should be a 15 minute break entitlement.
Good luck

Answer 4

There is no official law, contrary to what people believe. But it would depend on a few factors.

If the person is in the U.S, and they are under 18, they are guaranteed a break time due to child labor laws.

If they are governed by an employment contract that stipulates break periods, then those rules apply.

Otherwise, it is between her supervisor and her about how much time they are allowed.

Answer 5

The law requires employers give their employees at least one 15 minute after 2.5 hours of work. However, the law doesn't require the employer to pay the employee for those breaks. Visit www.dol.com (deparment of labor) and check the regs that can be found under the FLSA.

Answer 6

Depends on state, employee age, type of work, union or open shop, agreement at time of accepting the job, etc. Break periods and lunch periods are not the same. Call your wage and hour people in your state capital for more information.
