folks just want to know what a 8 hour work day consists of
time 9am to 5 pm = 8 hours
or is 9am to 6pm with lunch included = 8 hours I am bit confused
 
still confused
am I right
so 9am to 5pm = no lunch =8 working hours
9am to 6pm with lunch = (9) 8 working hours
 
Yes but you can't work straight from 9 to 5 to make up 8 hrs working day, you have to have a lunch break. The working day is counted in working hours excluding lunch. You are not being paid for your lunch hour, usually anyway.

All employers are legally requird to provide employees with their terms of employment which will set out the extent of the working day including breaks.
