More on casual break allowances

[Leeny76]

Hi,

I just worked my first casual shift. I worked 9am - 3pm (6hrs) with one ten minute break. Is this an adequate break for this shift? I just about gave myself indigestion scarfing down my lunch in 10 minutes. If that’s what’s normal, fine. I just won’t accept any more 6 hour shifts unless they are outside lunch time, like an early shift 6-12 at least I can eat lunch when I’m finished.

Thanks.
