Meal/Crib Breaks. The time of taking meal/crib breaks may be staggered to meet operational requirements. During meal/crib breaks employees will be required to relieve other employees in any role they are capable of performing. Any breaks other than meal/crib breaks must be authorised by the employee’s Supervisor.
Meal/Crib Breaks. Duration and maximum time without a meal break
Meal/Crib Breaks. 31.1 Operational Employees are entitled to a 30-minute paid meal crib break for each rostered shift and such break will be provided no later than five hours from commencement of shift.
Meal/Crib Breaks. There will be a meal break of 30 minutes. The meal break shall be taken no later than 1.30pm, provided that no employee shall be required to work for more than five hours without a break for a meal. Such meal breaks shall not count as time worked. The timing of the meal break will be determined for each employee by the Operations Manager, or his representative. The Company recognises that the meal break is also a social occasion and will attempt to give each employee reasonable opportunities to take it at a shared time, subject to production demands. There will be a paid morning tea break of 15 minutes. The morning tea break will be taken at a time that minimizes production loss. The timing of the tea break will be determined for each employee by the Operations Manager, or his representative. There will be a paid afternoon tea break of 15 minutes, to be taken at a time that minimizes production loss. The timing of the tea break will be determined for each employee by the Operations Manager.
Meal/Crib Breaks. During a normal roster period each employee not working shifts shall take a ten-minute crib break and a 30- minute meal break at a time to meet the circumstances of the work at hand. The company will endeavour to ensure that no employee is required to work more than 5 hours without a meal break. If the circumstances of meal and crib breaks are in dispute, the details are to be referred to the Joint Consultative Committee for consideration.
Meal/Crib Breaks. When possible, the arrangement of work for a shift shall be such that employees shall be allowed an unpaid, thirty (30) minute break, to be taken within the spread of the shift. Ideally, this break shall be taken as close to mid-shift as possible, no later than the end of the fifth (5th) hour, but shall be taken so as not to disrupt the continuity of the work group’s operations. Flexibility shall be exercised at all times, and when the nature of the work requires a “straight shift”, a twenty (20) minute crib break shall be applied without deduction of pay. The crib time shall also be organised to ensure continuity of the Company’s operations.
