Question
Is there some sort of act whereby it states that someone should have a break during their work legally?
If there is, could you give me the link.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Question
I believe you are required to have a break if you work for 7 hours or more.
I'm too lazy to search for the specific law / whatever though.

Re: Question
a quick google says
An employee aged 18 years or over is entitled to a 20 minute undisturbed break for every 6 hour shift they work. They are also entitled to 11 hours rest between each work day and are further entitled to one full day off each week.

Re: Question
Not really EFB Stew, as if two sites are saying the same thing, it's more likely to be right

Re: Question
I might join one.
Also I found what I was looking for: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1998/19981833.htm#12
Thanks for your help guys. All I needed was the name of the Act/Regulation.
