All Breaks At Work To Be Uninterrupted and Fully Paid

Closed 105 signatures

What the petition asks

Breaks at work should be uninterrupted and fully paid in all aspects of Employment.
I would like the Government to add this to the Employment Rights Bill. We think so many people don’t get their full breaks at work. They can get interrupted, expected to keep working, and/or not paid for their breaks. We think this needs to stop!!!! There should be no more unpaid breaks, and no more interrupted breaks!!!!
