Answer 2

Bad news in the UK, having trouble believing this....

Rest breaks - a break during your working day

The regulations give you a right to one rest break during your working day. A lunch or coffee break can count as your rest break. Additional breaks might be given by your contract of employment. There's no statutory right to 'smoking breaks'.

If you're an adult worker (that is, over 18), you'll normally have the right to a 20 minute rest break if you're expected to work for more than six hours at a stretch.

If you're under 18 but over school leaving age (you're under school leaving age until the end of summer term of the school year in which you turn 16) you're classed as a 'young worker'. A young worker is entitled to a 30 minute rest break if they are expected to work for more that four and a half hours at a stretch.

The requirements are:

* the break must be in one block
* it can't be taken off one end of the working day - it must be somewhere in the middle
* you're allowed to spend it away from the place on your employer's premises where you work
* your employer can say when the break must be taken, as long as it meets these conditions

Answer 3

If u're working 4 hours you only get one 10 or 15 minute break depending on the company

6 hours...u will have one 30 minute lunch and possibly one 10-15 minute break

8 hours 1 30 minute lunch, 2 10-15minute break

Answer 4

You need to consult your doctor about this. He will advise how many breaks you should have. He will write up a doctor's note saying whether or not you have restrictions. Work places don't just automatically give you extra break time because you are pregnant. So consult with your doctor. Always make sure to take your prenatal vitamins and drink plenty of fluids as well. Do not drink caffeine, smoke, or lift heavy loads either. These are all ways to prevent miscarriage. Take very good care of yourself.
Just make sure to speak to your doctor about this issue.

Answer 5

It all depends on the company. Go to your manager and ask them how long they give for breaks. Some company do bend the rules a little if you have a medical condition. Ask the manager there is no harm in asking. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

Answer 6

If you're working in a union shop, talk first to your shop steward. Take the information to your doctor. If, in the opinion of your doctor, your breaks are insufficient, get a written statement to that effect from your doctor and take it to your manager, and ask for extra time on your breaks, even if you have to take a small cut in pay, because it's for the safety of your baby.

Answer 7

In the UK, the rights of pregnant women are paramount; obviously smoking is a no no, but adequate breaks are essential; does your employer know you are pregnant (5 weeks is a bit early to announce these things)?

Speak to your doctor if you are concerned in the slightest!

Answer 8

Go to your Human Resource officer. And ask him/her about Mother (Maternity) rules . I bet you if your doctor write a statement regards your previous birth, they can make arrangements at your workplace for better working hours that includes more breaks. Good luck with your BAB"Y!

Answer 9

i assume you mean while at work. the law in the uk (european working time regulations) state that you cannot work for more than 4 hours without having a 15 min break.

Answer 10

You need to call the Labour board and find out the standards, it might be different in many places....
