8 hour day - No, uhm 7.5, oh hang on, 7.

[I just need to test it]

So you work 9 until 5 with an hour for lunch. 8 hours elapsed.

So that is 7 hours billable.

But if you only take 30 minutes doesn't that then become 8 hours billable (7.5 hours work entitles you to a paid 30 min break).

Or is this all a figment of my lurid imagination?

Depends. Are you a permmie on flexi time ?

[Alan @ BroomeAffinity]

Paid 30 minute break for a contractor? And 6 weeks holidays plus bank holidays too I guess? And a staff car park permit?

Absolutely, your Employer is paying you for as much lunch breaks as you want, but your Client deosn't

Oh well. I'd heard a whisper about a legal requirement for a break, paid, in the course of working 8 hours. Thanks all.

So are you permie or contractor?

I dont think even permies get paid lunchbreaks do they? i.e. 37.5 hours per week is just that - 7.5 hours actually working per day.

So if you are a contractor are you on an hourly rate then? All becomes a bit irrelevant if your on PWD too.

Got a feeling if you are hourly then client might get a bit peed off if your billing him for your hour long lunchtime pint or something anyway.

You can only get through one pint in an hour?

Assuming you're a contractor, who are you going to sue, yourself?

Looking this question that's one hell of an assumption

Paid break!? Behave!
