Just want to correct the wrong informtion Somewhereintime gave you. No requirement for "paid coffee break" according to BC employment standard. Employers are not required to give either coffee or lunch breaks. They can ask employees to work 8 hours continously as long as they pay and employees agree to do as asked.
yes and no. That clause must be verbal and will not appear in the contract for 99.9%, if it goes to court you are making yourself into trouble... you better review your info in "details"...
The provision of coffee break is to encourage productivity and morale.
I cannot believe staffs who work 8 hours straight without break would
perform well.
But then, lots of workers in Chinatown or Indian farms never have
coffee break or minimum pay. I've never pay any staff below industry
average wage or taking away their legit right, i.e. coffee break or holiday
pay.
