Shiftwork meal breaks Print

All shiftworkers while working day, afternoon or night shift respectively are entitled to a paid meal break of 20 minutes which is counted as time worked. This clause does not attract meal allowance.

An employee on shift work must not be required to work more than 5 hours without a meal break (sub-clause 24.9).
