Paid Breaks?

Are you paid for your daily rest (45min) breaks?

Just wondering, but I reckon everyone should be as it’s very rare that you can freely dispose of that time. Either you can’t leave the load in case it gets nicked or there’s just no place that you go to.

I can’t answer as I’m self employed, but as an ex employer, I paid for breaks, because it used to break my heart to see someone sit in a queue for hours, pull out of the gates and then take a 45 minute break. I wouldn’t mind so much, if they had nowt to eat and headed to the nearest cafe, but to just t*ss it off for 45 mins?
I suppose if you’re not getting paid for it. Fair enough.
