Long breaks meal breaks and short breaks Unless the local parties agree otherwise, long breaks are to be scheduled so that a salaried employee does not work for more than five hours consecutively. A long break is understood to be an interruption to daily work, during which the employee is not obliged to remain at the workplace. The employer shall state in advance the length and scheduling of long breaks as exactly as the circumstances permit. Long breaks may be replaced with meal breaks at the workplace. Such meal breaks are part of working hours. The employer shall organise the work such that the employee is able to take the necessary short breaks in addition to the long breaks. If the working conditions so require, special work breaks may be scheduled instead. Short breaks are part of working hours.
Long breaks. Campus housing is generally closed during the Thanksgiving and Spring breaks, but may be available to students for a fee if the student submits an official request in writing to stay to by the deadline published by the College, and the College approves the request. Campus dining will not be available during these breaks. The College is under no obligation to provide housing during these long breaks, however, and the decision to grant such housing requests is in the College’s sole discretion. Housing, if available, may be restricted during breaks to certain facilities or areas that differ from a student’s usual housing assignment.
