Lunch Break

[Ruprect]

I don't think posting on here for 6 hours constitutes 'work' - even by it's loosest definition.

In any case, the law actually states that your employer (in this case, YourCo) is required to allow a 20 minute break after 6 hours work.

Just received an email from the PM, stating that every person on our project must take a 45-minute lunch break every workday by law.

Is this applicable to me as a contractor?

Just say you'll save all yours up and take a (paid) week off at the end of the project instead.

Not unless the window cleaners and those odd women who come in to water the plants are bound by the same rules.

You don't work for him.

Not from him it isn't. MOO (That may look silly). Although if you're employing yourself then you should tell yourself the same thing - hell, make it compulsory for you to take a 3hr lunchbreak down the pub.

Edit: Whoa EO - spooky.

[EternalOptimist]

Yes it is, I take mine at 10pm after spending 3 hours in the pub
