PWD. Normally I take 30 mins for lunch if I'm on site. It varies how long I take at home - sometimes 15 mins, sometimes I go for a 1 hour dog walk.

It does not sound like a permie thing to do. Most employment contracts I've ever had specify I'm entitled to a one hour unpaid break at lunchtime.Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostSeems like a permie thing to do, but do any of you bill for your lunch break?
I've added an AndyW option as you unaccountably omitted one.

I charge a day rate, sometimes I work more hours, sometimes less. But I don't think I would charge for a lunch break if I was charging by the hour.Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostSeems like a permie thing to do, but do any of you bill for your lunch break?

No I bill for a pwd which includes lunch at some point.
I do expense claim for lunch at the moment though.
