Meal Breaks (Trades and Services CRCCM Enterprise Agreement 2005)

56. Meal Breaks

56.1 Meal breaks will be as set out in clause 34. Where it is not possible to grant the meal break on any day, the said meal break shall be treated as time worked and paid at the rate for the day plus half-time additional on the basis of the staff member’s ordinary time earnings, until released for a meal. Provided that where a staff member is required to exceed five hours work after the first meal break he/she shall be granted a further meal break of 20 minutes to be treated as time worked.
56.2 Staff members rostered to work more than ten ordinary hours in a shift shall be entitled to two paid 20 minutes rest breaks in addition to an unpaid meal break of at least half an hour. In rostering for these breaks, the University shall make all reasonable efforts to provide these breaks at a time which gives the staff member an even mix of work time and breaks.
56.3 Where a staff member is required to work overtime and such overtime follows the completion of the staff member's normal hours of work a 20 minutes paid meal break shall be allowed where such overtime exceeds two hours work.
