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.

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

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

Originally posted by I just need to test it View PostSo 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?
