Hi
basically i work in retail in a well known clothing store.
I work 5 hours on saturday (9am-2pm) and 5 hours on sunday (12am-5pm)
basically on both sat and sun i dont get a single break and have to work 5 hours straight with no break.
I asked the manager and she said that because i am 18, if i am working 5 hours or less they do not have to give me a break at all, its only if i am working 6 hours i will be entitled to a break, but a friend of mine told me that by law i am entitled to a 15 minute break if i am working 5 hours straight regardless of age
Can anyone shed some light?
Should i be getting a 15 minute break, or is what they are doing perfectly within the law.
