Nic,
AFAIK (i may be wrong though)
for every 8 hours worked you are entitled to a 30 minute unpaid break and a 10 minute paid break.
for every 4 1/2 hours worked you get a 15 minute break.
for every 6 hours worked you are also entitled to a 30 minute break
These are obviously not cumulative.
I used to work in a PC manufacturing factory and the issue of break times was brought up by the manufacturing staff on several occasions and even with the intervention of unions, the company always wriggled out of it and kept to a bear minimum.
Hope this helps,
Marty
