6hr break rule?

Crusher75:
So, as it is stipulated in Article 3 that Break time is not classified as Working time, and because our breaks must ‘interrupt’ ‘working time’, it therefore follows that breaks cannot be at the start or end of a shift?

That’s correct, the regulations make it clear that the breaks must interrupt the working time, a break at the immediate start or end of the shift would not be interrupting the working time so would not be a valid break for the RT(WT)R 2005.
