RE: I am a Newbie to Australia Question. I got my first job, Is this Legal???

in #teamaustralia7 years ago

just did a quick check i didnt want to give bad advice so the following is from fairwork Australia.

"A rest break is a 10 minute paid break that counts as time worked.

A meal break is a 30 minute unpaid break that doesn’t count as time worked, except for shiftworkers. Meal breaks for shiftworkers are paid and count as time worked.

An employee gets 1 rest break and 1 meal break each day.

An employee who works for more than 5 hours must get at least 1 meal break.

Check the Building and Construction Award for information about wash time before lunch, paid meal breaks for employees involved in shaft or trench sinking and longer break entitlements in certain situations."
