Existing local arrangements which already provide for breaks of more than 20 minutes (e.g. lunch breaks) will meet the requirements of this provision and no further action will be needed.
This is what I was getting at..........morning and afternoon rest breaks, i.e. tea-breaks, don't necessarily have to be given if a break for lunch is provided - as far as I've always interpreted it, anyhow. Anything additional to the 20 minutes lunch break, minimum, is discretionary and not obligatory.
As I said:
Actually I think you'll find that your contracted hours don't necessarily include tea-breaks - I thought it was at the discretion of your employer or manager something like that and not laid down in stone as an entitlement......check it out.
