Actually if you read the amendment it's not what the media portray. It's about removing set break times and allowing them to be adjusted to suit the workflow:

“69ZD Employee’s entitlement to rest breaks and meal breaks
“(1) An employee is entitled to, and an employer must provide the
employee with, rest breaks and meal breaks that—
“(a) provide the employee with a reasonable opportunity,
during the employee’s work period, for rest, refresh- 5
ment, and attention to personal matters; and
“(b) are appropriate for the duration of the employee’s work
period.

It covers safety such that an employee is entitled to a break for rest.


and I thought break times were already flexible? I mean my morning tea is taken anywhere between 10 and 11, lunch is an hour anywhere between 12 and 2 and afternoon tea is anywhere between 3 and 4. Plus my employer is awesome enough that I can have a longer lunch break if required so long as I make up for it elsewhere.
